They say that your application may only display weather for one location at a
time.  So if there is more than one theme running at a time, strictly
speaking, I will be in breach of the terms.

I'm proposing to have a facility soon where users can toggle between 5
different locations within the same theme.  But this would mean that only one
location at a time is being displayed.

I don't know how strict weather.com is in enforcing their terms of service,
but I'd rather not risk losing this facility, as that would basically be the
end of liquid weather.  That would be disappointing given that it seems to be
used by thousands of kde users.
