I see none in the "Locations" tab. There is a "Time Settings", but it did nothing to press the "Set System Time" in the time settings window. I did note that the zone files in 8.0 are very different from those in V7. The file now in /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles is 2819 bytes while it was only 1701 in V7. I see nothing in UPDATING about this, but something changed and, once I replaced /etc/localtime with the now file, the local weather reappeared. Thanks! -- R.
