Description Markus Robert Keßler 2025-03-13 16:56:22 CET 
Description of problem:

xfce4-weather-plugin only shows "no data" due to api access mismatch, starting yesterday - api.met.no obviously changed the way how to access their data

Solution:

I installed xfce4-weather-plugin-0.11.3-1.mga10.x86_64 out of cauldron.
So, best would be to copy it to mga 9 also

Comment 5 Jani Välimaa 2025-03-15 14:27:25 CET 
According to upstream [1]:

"If you’ve noticed that xfce4-weather-plugin has stopped working, please update to the latest version (0.11.3) as soon as possible. Due to a necessary change requested by the API provider (met.no), older versions are no longer able to retrieve weather data."
