right now this is a bit of a bad design flaw of the weather module - always beware modules outside e17 itself (even in e_modules) may be less well tested and have issues. your solutions right now are 1. live with it, 2. send patches, 3. don't use the weather module :) no module should EVER block on ANYTHING.
