Weatherbug might have this - I use the HTC widget with "current location". This gets the weather based on your GPS location - which although consumes the battery more, works just as I need it.

Thanks for your feedback Simon.

In fact, I would like to add a unavailable city on the current HTC Hero weather application.
I don't want to add another application.
You know what I mean?

Thanks

Only way I know is to visit said place and add current location to your cities. Will be there for all time then.

Not useful if you need to find the weather before you go.

well this is what I did:
open weather application
push "plus sign" (bottom right corner)
push "my location"

your location will be showing on the googlemap and you see red pin.
zoom out and find your desirable location on the map.
drag the red pin to this location and push "Done"
you get the text "finding location", then you will have this location name and coordinates displayed... now just add this location and... you have it on the weather. then update the weather and it displays your custom weather conditions with others.

... at least it works for me.

well... that what exactly what it said before I pushed "update" (in the left bottom corner). at the beginning it gave me a message "no weather data available for your location"... but after update it got exactly what needed...

if not, try another location, maybe closest town or similar...

When I push "plus sign" I don't get the option to push "my location". It doesn't exist on the Hero apparently.
