Hi,

Disclaimer: I do not use this extension, but I do use the XFCE counterpart.

This is standard practise among many FOSS weather monitoring tools.  A
year or so back most popular weather feeds either stopped, went
proprietary, or kept changing their feed structure too often.  At this
point many FOSS weather tools moved to the service provided by Norwegian
Weather Institute.  It is never going to go proprietary, and will most
likely stay alive for the foreseeable future.  It is also rather
reliable.

I hope that explains why it cannot be changed, no options out there.

Cheers,
