As of today the weather forecast in MP started returning the following error (for any city):
"Bad or missing query parameters in request."

This happens on both my RC1 installs and seems to be related to the forumthread on this link:
Weather Modules GONE MAD!? - Chat About It! - DotNetNuke

Does anyone know how to fix this?

    See they have tightened up their licensing as well. Does this impact Media POrtal?
