Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Since upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04, the weather panel applet version
2.26.1 no longer lists intercity locations.  For example, I live in the
United States in New York State and if I clicked on New York City
location, there used to be a drop down with choices including Kennedy
Airport which is reasonably close to where I live.  Now, there are no
choices under New York City which is over 35 miles away and has very
different weather from where I live, which in Long Beach, NY.

Is there any way to get it to read additional weather locations?
Ideally, one for my own city of Long Beach.  I know there are online
weather stations here because in Windows, if I install weather bug, it
can get data from my local High School, which is only a few hundred
yards away.

To summarize:

Ubuntu release:
Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit

Package version:
gnome-applets v2.26.1-0ubuntu1  the weather applet

Expected action: 
Should be able to retrieve weather data from nearby location as in Ubuntu 8.10

What happened instead: 
Fewer choices of places to draw weather data from, places that were listed in 
8.10 are no 
longer listed in 9.04

Wish List: 
Obtain weather data from known online source in my home town (Long Beach High 
School, Long Beach, NY, USA)
