I've been using Gnome for about 10 months and it always bothered me that my city (with more than a million inhabitants) was not found in the Weather program.
I looked for solutions several times and never found them, until I found this thread yesterday. That the user Julian made a script that solves this problem. you just have to run and enter the name of your city and then confirm.
script
#!/bin/bash
if [[ ! -z "$(which gnome-weather)" ]]; then
system=1
fi
if [[ ! -z "$(flatpak list | grep org.gnome.Weather)" ]]; then
flatpak=1
fi
if [[ ! $system == 1 && ! $flatpak == 1 ]]; then
echo "GNOME Weather isn't installed"
exit
fi
if [[ ! -z "$*" ]]; then
query="$*"
else
read -p "Type the name of the location you want to add to GNOME Weather: " query
fi
query="$(echo $query | sed 's/ /+/g')"
request=$(curl "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=$query&format=json&limit=1" -s)
if [[ $request == "[]" ]]; then
echo "No locations found, consider removing some search terms"
exit
fi
read -p "If this is not the location you wanted, consider adding search terms
Are you sure you want to add $(echo $request | sed 's/.*"display_name":"//' | sed 's/".*//')? [y/n] : " answer
if [[ ! $answer == "y" ]]; then
echo "Not adding location"
exit
else
echo "Adding location"

It occurred to me that some people might not know how to run scripts, so here's a brief tutorial:
How to run scripts in Linux
- Save the script to a text file and save with the
.shextension - Provide execute permission:
chmod u+x script.sh - run the script by double clicking or
./script.sh
