There are two different weather-related blocks; weather.com and METAR.  
Most people want the weather.com block; METAR is mostly for pilots.

The weather.com block requires the partner ID and license key from  
weather.com, and the METAR block requires the buildMetarDB.php file to  
be executed.

That said, under "Layout" for the portal page, which block did you  
choose? If you chose "Horde: weather.com", you should have been  
presented with a text box allowing a location to be entered. If you  
selected "Horde: Metar Weather", you should have been presented with  
drop-down boxes to select the location (which would be empty until the  
database is populated by the buildMetarDB.php script).
