Here is a comment from Nate in bug 507985

The list of cities comes straight from the weather providers. I'm afraid we can't artificially add more cities than what they support.

We could add more weather providers that offer improved coverage, but that's a separate thing that's sort of ongoing anyway. OpenMeteo is in the process of being integrated, for example.

We could also implement a geolocation system that maps your location to the nearest city, and that's also a separate thing that's eventually planned.

Until either of those get implemented, I'm afraid there's nothing more we can do here with the current infrastructure.
