No, probably not with this code, because the source is deprecated. Try opening the provided URL (for instance http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/FRXX0020?cc=*&unit=m - I wrote completely randomly the location code) into a browser and you get the This service is deprecated as of 01/15/2020 result. So, the service doesn't work anymore. The weather skins have been rewritten in meantime, to use newer and working sources. The simplest solution is to look for a skin using one of the new sources on the following links:

There are thousands of such skins, each is working.
If you want to write an own skin, here is an excelent tutorial on how to do this. It is eclectic-tech's post and it can be followed by a beginner as well. Recommend to study it if you are interested.
