"Can someone help me? I am a Chinese user. I would like to ask why the weather tool on the homepage cannot display; it keeps refreshing continuously, whether I use local broadband or open a VPN, it still shows refreshing. I tried manually entering the location, but it doesn't display either."

@haifeng Opera One, Opera GX or Opera Air?

Hi Haifeng,

It sounds like a possible compatibility issue between the weather widget and your version of Opera or a problem with the website’s location services. Try the following steps:

Clear your browser cache and cookies, then reload the page.
Disable any extensions (especially ad blockers or privacy tools) temporarily to see if one is interfering.
Update Opera to the latest version if you haven’t already.
Try opening the site in another browser (like Chrome or Edge) to see if the issue persists.

If the widget still keeps refreshing, it might be a bug on the website itself—consider reporting it to the site admin with your browser and OS details.

Regards

@haifeng I have the same issue at home, but at work works, I thought it could be bc the location service that doesn't find my location, If you set the location manually should work (but need to do that every time you open opera)

@KhronosPy This sounds very troublesome。"The weather tool is not working, and it seems many people are giving feedback. However, the official Opera team doesn't seem to have made any improvements; I saw reports about this as far back as 2021. It looks like the official staff forgot to drink coffee while working overtime. Haha."

@haifeng Yes, It's exactly like that, For me is even better to not use the widget anymore since it doesn't work properly.

@richardgen84 "Thank you, sir. I followed the steps you mentioned, but it still doesn't work. I see a lot of feedback about similar weather tools not working. I hope it gets fixed, and I wish your browser becomes the best soon."

The weather widget isn't showing for me in Opera GX. In regular Opera (Opera One), it's showing, but I can't set a location (manually or via automatic detection). The agree button doesn't do anything, the autocomplete for the location field in manual location setup isn't working and the save button is grayed out. It's like that in older version of Opera too where I'm sure the weather widget worked.

So, for me, it seems like it's something with the service itself (Opera's servers that provide the weather api or something).

So, for now, I would definite goto the URL opera://settings/startPage and disable weather since it's not working and since the animated gif that shows by default uses a tad bit of CPU.
