It looks like an error fetching the information from the selected provider. You'll have to cycle through to see if there any providers left in your area that still work. Unfortunately Weather+ does a fair amount of screen scraping to get information, so as the providers change their web sites, Weather+ breaks. And it looks like there isn't anyone maintaining this anymore, so unless someone steps up this add-on is probably going to die a quiet death.

so, i conclude there is no functionnal meteo add-on in v10. The standard weather.com requires a subscription. It says "ERROR: WEATHER: Unable to get data: Invalid License Key.".

Unfortunately that is likely the case. Eden (v11) RC2 is very, very stable. You should look at upgrading. With that you'll get the Weather Underground plugin to provide the default weather.

I can not chance the Weather from Celsius to Fahrenheit! Could someone please help me figure out how to do it! Ive tried uninstalling the weather app and it wont work either!

This is a localization setting.
System -> Settings -> Appearance -> International and set your region.

I agree, to a point. Work is being done on the WUnderground addon which would ultimately duplicate the info available from the Weather Plus addon. However, skins will need to be modified to show the extra info from Wunderground.
One would imagine that as ronie is working on WUnderground, the Confluence skin will eventually have full support for the additional info.

I've already updated the confluence files to use either weather+ or weather underground. Check this post. The updates don't do any more than duplicate the weather+ functionality (minus the maps, which I'm still trying to figure out). The good news is that skins will require only minor modifications to switch to the extended weather underground plugin.
