I may have discovered the problem with this widget.  It works properly until the computer goes to sleep (KDE Energy Saving setting to sleep after x minutes idle or when laptop lid closed).  After the computer is awakened from sleep, the Weather Report remains frozen at the same temperature/forecast it was at before sleep.  Logging out/logging in does not budge the weather report.  It only comes back to life after a shutdown/restart of the system.

Prior to a fix to this widget, is there a command or script I can use the awaken Weather Report after sleep?

I use NOAA as source.

you can kill and restart plasmashell to see if that helps

`plasmashell --replace`
Comment 4 rhubeny76 2020-07-13 20:25:34 UTC 
Yes, that helps.  It gets Weather Report to report latest values.  Now, is there a way for kede to execute "plasmashell --replace" with every wake from sleep?  Thank you for the test.

lol that doesn't quite seem like the right solution for this bug. :)
Comment 6 rhubeny76 2020-07-14 10:05:43 UTC 
I agree that is a poor solution and just a work-around if I intend to put the computer to sleep.  But I don't know how to nudge just the Weather Report into wakefulness.

While on the topic of the very buggy weather widget, can we have a manual refresh button in the widget “configure” settings? 

Also sometimes the days show wrongly.

Ex: sometimes you will have Day 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 27, 27

And sometimes you will only have 5 or 6 days in the widget as opposed to the normal 7!
