STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1.  install  my distro packages :
kweather.x86_64                              24.12.2-1.fc43 rawhide
kweather-plasma-applet.x86_64  24.12.2-1.fc43 rawhide
kweathercore.x86_64                      24.12.2-1.fc43 rawhide

2.  Enter in edition mode.

3.  Click on add widgets.

4.  When the cursor is on the kweater plasmoid icon  a notification appears :
     This widget was written for an unknown version of plasma.
      It is incompatible with version 6 of plasma.

I made a search  seems that the widget is not yet ported to kf6  and found a bug report :
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kweather/-/issues/76

Thanks.

I can reproduce this on Fedora KDE 41.

For what it's worth, it looks like this has possibly been reported on Bugzilla before: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485488

...and was merged in with at least one root cause of the incompatibility, which has been addressed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487464

Thanks!
