Issue with the weather app?
The weather applet no longer updates. Just says, "loading". I'm using Mint 18.3.

Re: Issue with the weather app?
Apparently YAHOO is no longer providing weather data (to anyone) so the app has nothing to load.

If you mean the weather desklet, weather.com is still working for me. You'll have to find the location code for your area at https://weather.codes/
Linux Mint 20.3 (Cinnamon)
Linux Mint 19.3 (Cinnamon)
Bodhi Linux 6.0 (MokshaArcGreen)
Fedora 35 (Cinnamon)

Re: Issue with the weather app?
yah, it's the weather applet (not desklet) and the applet is sorely missed because Yahoo has yanked the free weather api needed by the applet so it is broken applet until author figures something besides yahoo to feed it the data.kevin987 wrote: ⤴Wed Jan 09, 2019 6:26 pm If you mean the weather desklet, weather.com is still working for me.

OP, I installed Meteo, which is also a systray app, uses OpenWeatherMap API, but does have a disappointing hover show of one day and opening app for more days- but some really cool map views, local to global. Not sure if there are ways to show more data on hover over, still messing with it.

Re: Issue with the weather app?
yes, I installed the PPA version that day yahoo pulled the api ruining the spices applet and I saw it mentioned in bug report there and in thread here.trytip wrote: ⤴Wed Jan 09, 2019 9:16 pm EDIT: the PPA works fine on my mint19.1 cinnamon withe latest updates com.gitlab.bitseater.meteo_0.9.0-230~ubuntu18.04.1_amd64.deb just click to download if you don't want to add ppa
Works cool enough at rest in systray, hover info def needs some improvement(s) (imo) but the click to open fully is good enough and the map tab is coolAF, so I'm happy enough (usually stick head out the door once every few hours anyways, so do have other weather info sources available

I'm using the bbcwx@oak-wood.co.uk desklet (with OpenWeatherMap) as an alternative.
