Sometimes the weather lock screen brings up such awesome wallpapers.

What has been your experience with this wallpaper? I've tried it a few times and found it to be a real battery killer. I wish we could just pick a location for it to use rather than having to use location services to have the wallpaper.

The location doesn’t actually get checked for the wallpaper that often. I’m travelling at the moment and the weather wallpaper didn’t automatically change until I switched to another static wallpaper and then changed it back to the weather one.

That purpose didn’t stand a chance.
 
Simple setup..

This could be an iOS bug. Between Friday and Saturday I’ll travel through 3 different time zones. Will check then if it updates properly as I move from country to country.
Looking forward to the results. I haven’t used that wallpaper in ages; there’s way too much excellent art to admire.

Totally agree. The weather wallpaper has so much potential but missed the mark. I mean, I live near the rockies and they know it based on my location so why not make the wallpaper include features like photos of the mountains. so much potential there...

Ok so I’m done with my travels for the day and happy to report that the weather Lock Screen updated the locations across all the time zones correctly. This makes me believe the issue I saw earlier was a glitch. It might take a bit of time at times depending on the network connection.

Couldn’t ever find a widget or font combo I actually like the look of, so I just keep it stock. Did take a new photo today though
