Apple is currently experiencing issues with its weather data provider, leaving many users unable to see live weather forecasts for selected regions in the Weather app.
The issue appears to be affecting many users across the globe, with Weather apps on several Apple platforms impacted, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS.
Apple is currently trying to resolve an issue with its Weather service, according to its System Status webpage, although the issue summary only lists next-hour precipitation as unavailable for Alaska "due to a data provider outage," when in fact numerous regions and forecast types are down.
Apple says the issue affecting "some users" began some five hours ago as of writing and is "ongoing," although some iPhone users are reporting that they have had intermittent issues with Weather apps since the iOS 16.4 update was released a week ago. We'll update this story when the problem is reported as resolved.

It is not first time. Weather.app works terribly since months on iPhone or AppleWatch. It is new "normal" that data for weather loads few minutes.
This has been happening for ages. The rainfall map often also has a complete dead spot just in my area, you can see the clouds moving across adjacent areas and then there's a clear rectangle as it passes over where I am and then re-appears the other side. 🤷♂️
Lots of bad / cached info this morning (Tuesday):
Well, I’m assuming my watch is right.
All on 16.4
- My iPad confidently showed me Sunday morning‘s weather for several minutes (wet and windy).
- iPhone showed me yesterday evenings weather (overcast) also for a full minute.
- Only my watch got it right.
Well, I’m assuming my watch is right.
All on 16.4

It happens so often - it doesn't seem to like the location based one, the bookmarked locations seem to load ok for me.
This has been driving me crazy. The flip side is that I decided to throw down on Hello Weather. It’s pretty decent and at least works all the time. Carrot Weather seems ok too, but expensive. Really miss Dark Sky. Wish Apple could just get their **** together. Wonder if they’ve been too cheap with their weather data sources or access providing/hosting. Something has been seriously off.
RIP to all those who don't look at the sky to know if it is sunny/cloudy/rainy today!
Hey guys, it’s not something exclusive of iOS 16.4, or even iOS 16 for that matter. I’m experiencing the same issue in iOS 15.7 on my iPhone 8. I’m sure it’s a problem on their servers.
Ireland is easy. You’ll have a cloudy overcast with some spots of rain at 15 ish degrees Celsius. As always. 😄
Junk app’m!!! BRING BACK DARK SKY!!!

Source? I can’t find a single article supporting either of your claims.
Apple bought a great weather app (Dark Sky) and totally trashed it.
Having similar issues. Turned on locations services [while using app] and suddenly getting temps again. Don't recall turning off location services for the app. And not sure why it needs location services in order to report data for specified locations, but worked.
