@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.

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. -

@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.

Apparently, it becomes like this when you select decline the first time the weather's dialog is shown (where you would otherwise set the location manually or select accept and let your location being handled automatically). After doing so there was somehow no way to reconfigure it.
To resolve this limbo-like status, close down Opera via ⌘Q, open ~/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Preferences in a text editor and search for
weather
, which leads you to:"weather":{"custom_location":"","enabled":true,"onboarding":false}
There, change
onboarding
's value totrue
and reopen Opera, which should make the weather's dialog appear again upon clicking the widget, so you can then either choose accept or enter a location manually.On Windows, it should be analogous and the path is probably something like %APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera\Preferences.
