Weather Widget is NOT working as of Feb/2019

I'm not very deep into Mac OS but I use weather widgets all the time to track the weather for some clients. All widgets working EXCEPT weather which suddenly stopped about Feb 15-20, 2019. I'm using a relatively new iMac with OS 10.12.6 . I saw the older postings from 2017 and tried all the fixes---none of them work. Sadly, there are no other weather widgets which operate within the dashboard--only on the desktop. I live in California NOT Australia or Europe. I have clients north TX, TN, VA,MD,FL, and CA. I have always been able to use multiple weather widgets (about 6 of them) but they all stopped. Does anyone have a problem like this?

Thank you for the information. Although Accuweather.com widget is now down [via short message on-site], the 'Wunderground" (Weather Underground Widget) I successfully installed in dashboard and now have my 5 locations back up. Thanx so much ! (DocKenn)

I just checked mine in Mavericks OS and I see it too no longer works. Must have happened recently. It could be the feed that's ceased.

I have weather widgets in my Dashboard from Accuweather.com and Weather Underground that still work.

This seems to happen every 5 years or so. Once it could be fixed with some "hacking" and another time I think we had to wait a few weeks before somebody noticed something was wrong.

I was kind of under the impression widgets were being phased out in general.
