I agree, it's not normal.

But the reason of the lack of this feature could be simply that no one 
packaged it for your (or another) location. Look, it seems there is a 
forecast package applet available for Spain:

***
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gnome-inm-forecast

the Spanish weather forecast applet for the GNOME panel

It displays the Spanish weather forecast on the GNOME panel, getting the 
information from the Spanish Meteorological Agency (http://www.aemet.es). 
***

So, if this is available for Spain it should be possible to gather data 
from the rest of the european meteorogical agencies, or better yet, to 
adapt the source data so it can be used in gnome gweather applet, don't 
you think? :-)
