Open your ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and add this line for 
your source of the weather applet:

source=bbcukmet|weather|Perth, Australia|
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/92/ObservationsRSS.xml 

all on one line.

Or if you prefer Perth International, then add this:

source=bbcukmet|weather|Perth International, Australia|
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/1954/ObservationsRSS.xml

Hope this makes it work again.
