When travelling it's easy to just refresh and get current location weather stats, check out geometric weather on f-droid it has this functionality.

This would be a nice user experience. Unfortunately, I don't think a truly seamless experience can be achieved because the weather providers I'm using have strict usage policies that discourage frequent requests. This is why the user must choose a couple of his frequent places and switch between them manually. It is more frugal this way.

What could be done is automatic saved place change based on the current location. It would just pick the nearest one to you. This means that the user would still have to manually enter places of interest, but it would be a nice quality of life change.

What do you think?

OK I agree with you, and would be good to have this option.
