The weather forecast cannot be loaded - error (Culiacán, Sinaloa, MX)

SUMMARY
This is supposed to be fixed a long time ago as I saw a comment here about it being "fixed", but it's actually not.

This issue shows in both Master and stable versions.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the weather location to "Culiacán, Sinaloa, MX (NOAA)" (which stands for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)

OBSERVED RESULT
Title. See attached screenshot (Spanish warning)

Translation:
The weather forecast cannot be loaded

There may be a technical issue with the weather information provider. If the problem persists for more than a day, please submit a bug report.

(spoiler: this has persisted for well over a year, but I had the weather widget disabled)

When you  can see it's perfectly online: https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/weather/current/MMCL.html

EXPECTED RESULT
The weather information should load just fine, as it used to do before.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Jordi PM 2026-01-26 12:06:41 UTC 
It seems that this widget cannot list any non US locations from some weeks ago?
Comment 2 Akseli Lahtinen 2026-01-26 12:32:30 UTC 
Can confirm, something wrong with the API maybe:
