I am having issues using the weather forecast plasmoid in KDE 4.3.  It
will not allow me to show the weather for Perth in Australia using the
BBC or other sources.

If the services supported by KDE don't find your location, you might 
also want to install kde-misc/yawp.  It will install two additional 
weather services, AccuWeather and Google Weather Service, neither of 
which are offered by KDE.  Weather info for my location for example is 
only offered by AccuWeather.

Thanks Nikos.  That resolved the issue.  Now using AccuWeather with the
weather-forecast-plasmoid
