  Could you send me a link to one of the widgets you tried? My guess is the widgets don’t work because they require JavaScript, and third party JavaScript is not allowed on WordPress.com, but if you send me an example widget I can check and tell you for sure.

  Thanks for the example.

  This widget requires code that isn’t allowed on WordPress.com to work correctly, and there is no work around as long as your site is hosted here.

  The widget would work on a self-hosted WordPress site. Here’s a little more on the difference between the two types of WordPress sites.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  We don’t have anything that will display weather in real time at the moment, but I’ll add “Weather Widget” to our list of ideas for new features.
