I recently installed drupal 5.x, and the weather module (weather-5.x-6.3). My location is Bangalore, India. I am using system-wide weather to report the weather of Bangalore. Weather information was indeed displayed, but I discovered that it never got updated, even when I disabled caching.
On further investigation, I found out the problem. Bangalore has two ICAO codes - VOBG and VOBL. Weather for the former has not been updated since February 2009. The latter gets updated regularly. I verified this by checking in http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml. (I suspect VOBG is now deprecated).

Now my problem is that the drupal weather module only supports VOBG, but not VOBL. Is there anyway I can add this support?

I would suggest contacting the owner of the module directly or placing a request in the module's support queue.

You might also be able to find a third party service that you could display in a page or block. For example on my website, www.fillmoregazette.com/weather, I use a third party site to add weather for my location here in California. They are www.weatherbonk.com, www.weatherforyou.com, and www.weatherbug.com

Best of luck,
Scott

Thanks. I created an issue for the module. In the meantime, I'll try your suggestion.
