Shouldn't the OP's gauges rely on the system settings rather than the time? I
imagine this may be a case of lazy configuration.
Consider using Forecastfox if your are dealing with the Firefox Web browser
often enough for it to be visible (URL below). I haven't used KWeather in
the past, but I would have gladly gone for that superkaramba weather widget.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=398&application=firefox
It keeps getting better and richer in terms of features. Being bound to FF,
it shows me the weather in Manchester regardless of which computer I use
(Firefox over SSH).
Best wishes,
Roy
