Make sure you tick "use current location" in the widget settings.

Sounds like a rubbish weather app or maybe needs an update.

So that's what, about 10 miles?
I wonder if it's just showing the nearest weather station, although I'd expect that to be at the airport.....

Closest weather station.
BBC just masks the name.
