        @perfectday please follow the above mentioned steps.
        I hope it will start working. Moreover, you can also roll
        back to the previous version.

          @naheed Thank you for the advise, but before posting I tried to do everything mentioned here. Perhaps some preferences in MacOS preventing widget work. So yes, probably the only chance to fix is rolling back to the previous version. Thank you.

            How to fix "Weather forecast not available" (Windows guide, i don't know if will work on MacOS, you can try)

            (Before doing, close your opera)
            Go to desktop, press Alt + R and write %appdata%
            Opera Forums 1.PNG Hit Ok
            and go to Opera Software -> Opera Stable. Scroll down, inside there should be file called Preferences.

            Move it to desktop, then open it using notepad.
            Opera Forums 5.PNG

            Next up open Opera. All your settings will be gone but everything will be back to normal later. Choose where you live and close Opera. Then go to folder where from we moved preferences, and there will be new file called preferences. Open it using notepad and put it aside.
            Like that:Opera Forums 6.PNG
            Then on Preferences on left side press Ctrl + F and search "onboarding"
            it should find this line (look at photo).
            Opera Forums 7.PNG
            Copy this line that i highlighted. Now on the Preferences that was put aside Ctrl + F and find "onboarding", it will lead you to same line. Now before that line i highlighted press Enter, so you can have something like that (look at picture)
            Opera Forums 8.PNG
            Now delete that line i highlighted and paste the line that we copied on the place of deleted one.
            So it will look like that: Opera Forums 9.PNG
            Now close and save changes to right and left Preferences, then move the Preferences from desktop to Opera Stable folder and choose replace files. Then open Opera and Boom Opera Forums 10.PNG
            😃

                @bsod It's working, thanks a lot! But I did it directly in preferences file on Mac. In my file the only difference was like empty location value and "enabled" key presence. After adding your location 349727 and removing the "enabled" key and value - it started to work. Even no reason to create preferences once again.
                so instead of
                "weather": {"custom_location":"","enabled":true,"onboarding":true}
                it became
                "weather": {"custom_location":"349727","onboarding":false}
                of course after launching Opera New York location should be changed to yours

                    @bsod Thanks for your amazing input but sadly it didn't work for me. The weather forecast has worked for me for at least a year but now it doesn't. I don't know what to do. I tried doing everything on this page but doesn't work at all. I downloaded Momentum just to get the weather but it doesn't start on startup so my problem is still not solved. Do you have any other idea?

                        @bsod I did and it worked! It didn't delete any of my setting either, it only reset my speed dial page, but the wallpapers are already there for you to quickly choose. It also didn't touch the sites under the search bar. It was that easy, I can't believe why I didn't think about this. Thank you so much!!
