I renamed /usr/libexec/gweather-applet-2 to gweather-applet-2.x and
installed this little script as gweather-applet-2:

     #!/bin/bash
     delay=10
     until /sbin/route -n | grep -q '^0\.0\.0\.0'; do
         sleep $delay
         [ $delay -lt 60 ] && delay=$(($delay+10))
     done
     exec /usr/libexec/gweather-applet-2.x "$@"

The next update of gnome-applets will overwrite my script with what is
hopefully a fixed executable again.
