As the applet resets its UI to empty by default (there is no different handling of weather station change and unit changes), this then results in an empty applet, until the next data is delivered (also results in the busy indicator on the applet, as it waits for the data and times out only after 2min).

I think fixing the two minutes busy indicator is important as it causes significant cpu load for many users. I'm fine with 5.6 for it given it's not a core applet and we still have the beta to collect some more feedback. If all breaks we can still remove it from final.
