The plugin uses a msn api from microsoft that seems to be not available more.

We are writing to notify you that the Microsoft Weather API will no longer be available for download and will be discontinued as of April 15, 2015, meaning it will no longer provide weather data. Accordingly, please remove the Microsoft Weather API from any of your products or apps that currently use it.

So seems you have to switch to pimatic-openweather.

OpenWeather works fine to. It is a little code adjustment. http://pimatic.org/plugins/pimatic-openweather/
