19 Open your ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and add this line for
20 your source of the weather applet:
21
22 source=bbcukmet|weather|Perth, Australia|
23 http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/92/ObservationsRSS.xml
24
25 all on one line.
26
27 Or if you prefer Perth International, then add this:
28
29 source=bbcukmet|weather|Perth International, Australia|
30 http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/1954/ObservationsRSS.xml
31
32 Hope this makes it work again.
