I have also found the weather plugin to not work all the time. It seems to not
handle incomplete data very well. Maybe only Australian weather stations
produce incomplete data? ;-)
I am novice when it comes to freevo and python (actually I've never written
any python before now), but I was able to hack the code to be a bit more
forgiving about the data it receives. See the diff output below...
I hope someone with a bit more know-how can look at these changes and
incorporate them into the next release of the weather plugin.

=== versions
freevo: 1.5.4
weather plugin: 0.8
=== the problems
* having an empty swVis field causes an exception when trying to convert it to
a float. (line 251)
* having both an empty swConText and swCIcon fields causes an exception when
trying to find the weather type.
