Hi, (I don't know if this thread belongs here)

I live at the south west of Milan, Italy and my area is completely uncovered by the weather plugin. There is the weather station of Malpensa Airport nearby here but it is not included among the locations the plugin seem to have.

Any chance more locations will be added? As it is, it is pretty useless to me and I imagine quite many others across the globe.

The location ID for Malpensa Airport is MXP:9. Enter this location id in the properties and you'll get the weather there.

Thank you this was very useful.
Can you please tell me where I can find the list of code locations such as this one that work with the weather plugin? There might be a weather station even closer to where I live...

I don't know all codes and as I see the find option don't show all locations. But you can open the website weather.com and search there your location. For example if you search the "Milan" you'll get some links:
Code:
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Milan+Italy+ITXX0042
http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/airportprofile/MXP:9
http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/golf/weather/weekend/?clubId=1036713
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Milan+Hill+State+Park+NH+NHSPMH:13
Generally the last symbols are the location id: ITXX0042, MXP:9, NHSPMH:13
With the golf club the location id 1036713 don't works. But on that page we can find the links to the 10 days weather and other with the location id 1036713:5 and this works well.
