Public bug reported:
When Berlin is selected as a location in Gnome's weather applet or clock
applet, it hits the URL http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-
bin/mgetmetar.pl?cccc=EDDI which is the Tempelhof weather station. Since
Tempelhof airport closed on Oct 30 last year, it's not very surprising
that the last weather report for that station is on that same day.
Up until fairly recently, the weather applet showed three choices for
Berlin - Tegel, Tempelhof, and Schoenefeld. Now it only shows one
choice, and just happens to be using the defunct Tempelhof weather
station. It was certainly a little surprising to see it reporting 4° C
for the last month or so, day and night, even when it was snowing
outside.
The next best station for Berlin would probably be Tegel, which is
station code EDDT.
