Weather widget no longer working

Hi,
Beginning a few months ago, the Weather widget no longer provides data for US locations
that I've tried.
I assumed someone would have fixed it pretty quickly, since this is a quality of life issue.
It can still find locations by searching for them but it always says "Currently no data available".
Hasn't anyone noticed this bug?
Is no one available to work on it?

Hello and welcome.

Depends on the version you are using. The backend API changes quite regularly and the plugin needs to be updated to accommodate. Version 0.11.3 or later should work.

Which distro, version of Xfce, and version of the weather plugin are you currently using?

I'm running Debian amd64 12.11
xfce4/stable,now 4.18
xfce4-weather-plugin/stable,now 0.11.0-1.

Debian is always so very slow to update packages. For instance I'm still on Firefox 128.

xfce4-weather-plugin/stable,now 0.11.0-1.

You can get the last version :

if you're fine with using the bookworm backports.
