I was looking to delete the default and "Recent Places" within weather since I moved countries and whenever I call up Weather, it shows the old location, which I do not care about anymore. Since the GUI is not providing me the ability to do so, I was looking for files using Terminal.

Using find ~ -mmin 1 after opening and closing the application, reveals, among others, some cache files, but deleting all found files does not delete the recent items.

Any idea where this is stored?

Seeing how little traffic this question got, I do not think that a lot of people are concerned about it, use Gnome Weather at all or frankly do not know the answer.

However, finally I found the answer myself and for the sake of having one more question answered, here is the solution:

Gnome Weather stores the information into the user dconf file located at ~/.config/dconf/user.

In order to surgically remove the recent places of Gnome Weather only, it is best to download and install dconf Editor.

Inside, follow the tree down org > gnome > Weather > Application, click on location and then click the button Set to Default.

I am also surprised to see this question getting this little traffic, but I am happy that you posted your results after you found out how, since I wanted to do the same right now. However, I couldn't quite get it to work. What eventually worked for me was gsettings reset org.gnome.Weather.Application locations to remove all the locations from the database. I am sure you could manipulate the entry to remove just a single location, but this satisfied my needs.
