Hi there.

This widget seems to be a quite old weather forecast for Helsinki. Not sure what's behind this http://weather.nearperfect.com/weather/world.rss/ site, but for helsinki for example the end of that url is the same as the end of the url for Helsinki specific page found http://www.worldweather.org/. I quickly tested to add a similar ending as Ulla has done in her widget and it seems to work. Quite hard to use, but here's the example on how to make it work.

Locate your local weather in worldweather, here's an example for Helsinki:
http://www.worldweather.org/061/c00168.htm

Construct the feed for it using the beginning shown in the widget:
http://weather.nearperfect.com/weather/world.rss/061/c00168

In other words "http://weather.nearperfect.com/weather/world.rss/" + "061/c00168" = the url for this widget.

I guess this widget was just developed by some user of ours, hence the support is quite poor. We're currently testing a more common, easy to use widget for weather, but it's not yet done. :o)

Best Regards,
Antti
