Non of my weather widgets work any longer. OK, Yahoo changed their API, but the updated widget still does not work. Neither does open weathermap? So ... is there something new I must enable in the firewall??

Had animated games doing stuff like this. However, does not answer the question, why connect and transfer of information to plasma widgets of Yahoo weather and openweathermap seems blocked. Apparently (maybe I am wrong, 'tis something else) these are not using straightup http protocols any longer.

At least in North America, Environment Canada and the National Weather Service have standard APIs and update frequently, sometimes minutely during major events.

True, but no firewalls to worry about and sometimes simple is just better and more than enough. ;) A.

I should probably point out that gkrellm's weather gizmo fetches that info from the net site it is configured to get it from, in my case the north central regional airport server 20 miles NE of me, at 15 minute intervals. And it does so simply by my entering the "call letters" of the airport, in my case KCKB in the config screen. That hasn't changed in decades. And that locks out any lockin that other commercial services try to do so they can charge yti for the service. If I hover the mouse over the temp display, I get a full report, same as the pilots do, as a popup. Whats not to like?

Openweathermap "recently" (months ago) turned nazi with their API which forced all applications relying on it to get a special "application key" or similar. That has finally been fixed for the openweathermap gadget in gnome3 on debian testing, but I'm not sure exactly about your widget. It's something to look in to. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801979 may be related.
