I notice same thing, this is Kodi Bug......try to delete "setting.xml" from addon_data/weather.weatherbit.io (this behavior are same for all addons)
Start Kodi, weatherbit.io will show old info but in addon_data/weather.weatherbit.io missing settings.xml.
New settings.xml will be writen only if you change some values from dialog addon, in old version of kodi, settings.xml was writen new at starting of Addon if that part was missing.

when no settings.xml file is present, kodi will load the default values from the settings file included in the addon.
i don't really see the benefit of saving a settings.xml to addon_data if you haven't changed any setting....

Now with newest version windows Kodi, some addon have populated all mine log every sec.

Code:

19:56:34.201 T:5656   DEBUG: CAddonSettings[[color=#e74c3c]some_addon[/color]]: loading setting definitions
19:56:34.201 T:5656   DEBUG: CAddonSettings[[color=#e74c3c]some_addon[/color]]: trying to load setting definitions from old format...
19:56:34.201 T:5656   DEBUG: CAddonSettings[[color=#e74c3c]some_addon[/color]]: loading setting values

yeah, the logging is currently a bit much. the kodi devs added some additional logging for addon settings, since a lot of changes have been made in kodi 18 regarding those settings.
it gives the developers the ability to check if everything is working properly.
i'm sure in future kodi versions the logging of addon settings stuff will be limited to a minimum again.
