No, emacs-w3m does not support them.

w3m-weather() consists of a function to retrieve weather forecasts
from weather.yahoo.co.jp, and filter functions to remove unwanted tags
and contents.  Therefore, present w3m-weather() strongly depends on
page structure of weather.yahoo.co.jp, and it cannot show non-Japan
weather pages.

If you want to make emacs-w3m support non-Japan weather site, you will
have to do 2 steps.

(1) Add its page information to `w3m-weather-completion-table', as
    follows:

    (setq w3m-weather-completion-table
          (cons '("Arizona"
                  "Arizona"
                  "http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USAZ0034_f.html";)
                w3m-weather-completion-table))

(2) Write filter functions to remove unwanted tags and contents, and
    register them to `w3m-weather-filter-functions'.

If a patch to support non-Japan weather sites is posted, I will be
gladly to merge it.
