Try the version in the official Ubuntu 11.04 repositories - it works just fine for me. – Alin Andrei Apr 28 '11 at 17:32

Try to reinstall the latest source code of indicator-weather:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:weather-indicator-team/ppa

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install indicator-weather

Also you should do an complete erase of the program before reinstalling it. And be sure you have Python installed.
