SUMMARY

Users should be able to refresh weather whenever they want, especially when weather forecast fails to load.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Comment 1 TraceyC 2025-03-17 16:00:32 UTC 
This seems reasonable. It doesn't seem difficult to add a menu item that invokes the refresh code.

This is the key part. Why is it failing to load? Ideally it never would. Let's dig into that before we add manual workarounds that would clutter the UI and allow people to DDOS the weather providers and provoke them to cut off our access.

I suspect you're hitting Bug 409393, which is known and should eventually get fixed.
