I bound d in the weather buffer to wttrin-make-default, which sets wttrin-favorite-location to the location on screen so it drives the mode-line and future sessions. The footer advertises "[d] to make default".
Persistence rides savehist, not the Emacs custom-variable mechanism: wttrin--savehist-register registers wttrin-favorite-location alongside the search history, at load and on savehist-save-hook. Enable savehist-mode and the favorite survives restarts.
Promoting a location drops it from the search history, the way wttrin-default-locations entries are kept out of history. The favorite shows in the picker instead: wttrin--completion-candidates prepends it when it's a string and not already a default, so it appears exactly once.
The setter only assigns the variable and trims history. It doesn't register with savehist itself, because savehist-additional-variables is unbound until savehist loads, so a direct add-to-list would error for users without savehist. Registration stays on the load and save-hook path.
