I don't see a reason for the first leak you highlight in your code.  You should create the url using QLatin1String as this saves QString having to guess the encoding -see http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/04/28/string-theory/ for details.

The second leak is due to the main IonInterface (outside your code) leaking its d-pointer.  I can't see why it or your WetterComIon::Private need to be QObjects, when they don't do any QObject-type things, so I'd remove this unless I am wrong for some subtle reason.  I fixed this with r1043227 but you should probably also remove the QObject inheritance from your code.

> The Ion makes use of wetter.com's officially-supported REST API. The API supports forecasts for up to three days, so the Ion does not supply any information about the current weather conditions. The forecast for the current day is split between night and day whereas the following two days are provided as an aggregated value for the whole day, respectively.

Profiled it for memory leaks using Valgrind, which did not bring up any leaks in the control of the Ion. Those two still look somewhat suspicious, so I'd like to get your opinion about them:
