Okay, that is just plain bizarre! I did some research and found the following.

Here's something I dug up from this list about a year ago from Randall on the SUSE-KDE group:

<quote> There seems to be some kind of race condition in the kweatherreport / kweatherservice start-up processing. It existed in 9.1 and remains in 9.3. The first time you start kweatherreport it in turn starts up kweatherservice. Sometimes kweatherservice doesn't get the information for the selected reporting station by the time kweatherreport queries it and you get a bogus message. E.g., just now it told me the station nearest me "reports that it needs maintenance." Closing the report window and immediately re-launching kweatherreport produced a proper display. I could reproduce this by manually killing kweatherservice and re-running kweatherreport. Kweatherservice keeps running even after you close all the kweatherreport windows.
As with all the other SuSE's I ran, it works now. But a new occured. The temperatures are in Fahrenheit, not Celcius. The windspeed is in MPH, not Km/H, and the pressure is in Hg, not in mbar. How is that being fixed ?
