Same problem here for some time, on gentoo, running live-git (live-git ebuilds
from the gentoo/kde overlay) of pretty much everything kde related including
all the frameworks and plasma, thus including kdeplasma-addons.

The apparently hard-coded size does indeed seem to be the problem.

The hints here (length of city name and system-tray hard-coded size limits)
*did* suggest a workaround, however, which I can confirm works, having just
tried it after reading this bug. =:^)
Note that there's *TWO* ways to add a weather-report plasmoid, either nested
inside the system-tray plasmoid, which in turn can be placed in a panel (as is
traditional) or directly on the desktop activity (when it's in desktop/widgets
mode, not folderview mode).
Adding it nested in the system-tray is done via simple checkmark in the
system-tray config, and nested in the system-tray is where the popup sizes are
constrained, so this is the problem location.
But, it's also possible (with widgets unlocked) to select add-widgets, either
from the (desktop-mode) desktop config menu, or from the panel config menu,
then in the popup window with all the widgets/plasmoids displayed, scroll
toward the bottom and find the weather report widget/plasmoid, and drag it to
the desired location on the desktop or in the panel.
This second method, adding the weather-report plasmoid directly to the panel
(or desktop if preferred), instead of nesting it inside the system-tray
plasmoid, avoids the popup-window size constraints of the system-tray, thus
avoiding the problem. =:^)
Thanks for the hints that allowed me to figure that out. This had been
frustrating me for quite some time, and now at least I have a workaround while
we wait for a fix to the system-tray nesting constraints, putting it directly
in the panel instead of nested in the system-tray. =:^)
