What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Simply wait till the next update interval.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The weather data should be updated, but it just says: "no weather data is 
available"

What version of the product are you using?
1.4.1

Which device and Android version are you experiencing this issue on?
Samsung Galaxy S2; Android 4.2.2

Are you using a custom launcher or ROM? If so, which one? Note that custom
launchers and ROMs are not supported.
CM10.1; Apex

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using the widget on the lock screen.  The only times when the info is 
available again is when I reboot the device.  I do often have weak signal 
strength, but that never seem to effect other apps that pull data.

I am also facing this issue, using DC 1.4.3, Android 4.2.2 and ParanoidAndroid 
version 3.15 on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

I realise alternative ROMs are not supported, however it was working when I 
first installed this ROM and is a recent issue, so not sure how related it is.

Unlike the OP, I have no weak signal issues, with full H+ or Wifi signal at all 
times. Also, rebooting does not have any affect on whether the weather data is 
available.

I have ensured that Google Now is able to retrieve data accurately, as is the 
"News & Weather" app. I'm unaware of the yahoo api's to test these directly, 
but obviously yahoo weather website works fine. I believe the DashClock app 
uses Yahoo to retrieve weather.

Not sure if it affects Dashclock but there have been changes on Yahoo side with 
some stuff become paid:

Also maybe Yahoo have a limit to the queries per day?

Recently started seeing more no data is avaiaible too, mostly while I'm on the 
move.
Location access via wifi is on.

This is old news now but what happened was Yahoo changed the API.
