Confirmed. I live in Seattle and had my computer's timezone set to
America/Vancouver, but the gnome clock applet uses America/Los Angeles
for the timezone of the Seattle location, so they didn't match and it
never showed the weather in the system tray. Only once I changed the
timezones to match did the weather show up properly. (Note that the
pull-down window with the calendar and world map _does_ show the weather
regardless, it just doesn't show up in the system tray.)

Perhaps the author did this deliberately so that only the user's home
location's weather would show up in the system tray (i.e., instead of
the weather for each location)? I think the right solution though is to
have a check box for each location that says "show the weather for this
location in the system tray". Or instead just always show the weather
for the first location in the list.

I have attached a screenshot showing the two places where the timezone
must match.
