Weather Dashboard widget

If memory serves, it came back temporarily, but is now gone again. Annoying. I guess I'll have to get used to checking my phone or the Accuweather website.
Hi, a thread on AppleSupport Communities dedicated to the Weather widget gathered 5 pages of responses since the summer of 2019. The truth is that the Yahoo Weather widget stopped working for good and so has the AccuWeather widget that I downloaded soon afterwards. There're only paid alternatives but that means that those that on macOSes older than Mavericks are left in the lurch. For Mavericks I got Weather guru, in High Sierra I use the stock Notif. Center widget which is an annoyingly worse substitution for the Dashboard weather widget.
Apple made a mistake by totally axing Dashboard instead of re-writing it. Many people used it and the majority thing is missing the goal completely.

BALDERDASH I SAY !!!!!
Here you go, a working widget that uses NOAA servers to replace the bogus Apple one that stopped working....
Using it on my MacBook Pro as you read this!
Oh yeah, and if you HAVE to use the original Apple widget and are willing to jump through some hoops to get it working, then here you go...
;-)

Nice alternatives, it's a pity though that Fair Weather is for US residents only

I noticed this too on my own. Perhaps, contacting the developer will do?

"Balderdash" when you're aware about alternatives. I wasn't.

Main thread for this is here if you haven't already seen it: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/i-fixed-apples-broken-weather-dashboard-widget.2225715/
It's not quite one-click install but it shouldn't take more than ~ 10 minutes to set up.
