Usually reinstalling does nothing - I don't know why everyone suggests it as a first thing to try.

Did it work previously and recently stopped, or has it never worked? What is the location you are trying to get a forecast for? Possibly the site they get weather data from has none for your location - I could check that myself and see.

@severalpeople Go to a page that uses it, like Google Maps, and see if it works. Alos check in opera://settings/content/location if it is enabled and don't have any sites blocked.

@severalpeople If I manually set that location (if you hover the widget three dots should appear, you can click them and change your location) that does come up, so it doesn't seem like a location they wouldn't have a forecast for.

Try setting the location yourself and see if it works.

The three dots are supposed to appear to the right of the text when the pointer is the over the widget, but usually the text isn't that long. Try nearer to the left end and see if they show then.

Hmm, the weather forecast for me isn't working either atm, even though it was working for me around yesterday or the day before; anyone find a fix for this yet?

@severalpeople Go to opera://flags and enable Weather on Startpage.
After that go to Settings>Privacy and Security and uncheck Location (see picture). I had the same issue and with this i fixed it.

The opposite to Ask is Never, if you turn it off then no one will be able to use geolocation. (Many sites will still guess your location based on your IP address, but they do either way.)

@severalpeople You can't even set a location? Or you already set up one but the weather tool isn't working?

same here.
location enabled, widget enabled.
but still "Weather forecast not available".

This has been happening since the last 2 updates i got. Prior these 2updates, it was working.

On "normal" Opera browser it is still working, only in GX is now not working anymore.
