HomePod Siri really needs to understand English expectations about the weather.

[Feek]

Every day I ask Siri "Is it going to be nice today?" and every day, his answer starts the same.

"No probably not so nice".

Siri needs to understand an Englishman's expectations of the weather.

From what he said, we're going to have a lovely day today.

But Siri thinks it's not so nice.

Apple need some devs in the UK

Agreed. A northern-Englishman's definition of 'nice today' is when the temperature is above 55F and it isn't raining.

Siri is basically useless on many levels. Home Kit connected Hue lights, British English.

Me: "All lights off"
Siri: no response
Me: "All lights out"

Siri: switches lights out or off or whatever as intended. Then Siri writes confirmation as: "All your lights are off". Yer right, that's what I tried to tell you..sigh

Me: "All lights off"

I use this phrase regularly "Hey Siri, turn all my lights off" and it works perfectly. Same as you, all the lights in the house are Hue and connected via HomeKit.

siri has trouble with American English too. She never learns and just seems to get dumber along the way. she will misunderstand the same phrase over and over year in and year out. like a simple turn water on (water is the name of the plug. almost always gets the on part wrong but almost always gets the off part. the home balls are far qwrose then our devices.

Before I went to bed last night.

"Hey Siri, is it going to be nice?"
"It should be pretty nice, it's currently clear and 18°. Temperatures will be fairly consistent averaging 18°"

This morning.

"Hey Siri, is it going to be nice?"
"No, probably not so nice, it's currently clear and 21°, today's high will be 24° and the low will be 19".

Yesterday when it was "not so nice", it was a beautiful day, nice and warm, no wind, not a cloud in the sky.

Siri needs to understand we get the barbies out when the ice defrosts

I use this phrase regularly "Hey Siri, turn all my lights off" and it works perfectly. Same as you, all the lights in the house are Hue and connected via HomeKit.

I don't know, but it happens on both devices. "Lights off"- Ooops something went wrong message comes up and prompts to use the Hue App itself. "Lights out" works strangely every time.

 

[Feek]

Bad Siri.

"Hey Siri, is it going to be nice today?"
"No, probably not so nice, it's currently clear and 22°, today's high will be 25° and the low will be 20".

“Hey Siri, how cold is it right now?”

“I don’t find that particularly cold. It’s 2c and snowing right now”.

🤣

The last one of these I've recorded was on the 1st October where Siri actually seemed to understand British weather.

However, I think they've removed Siri giving his opinion, now he just goes straight into the weather forecast without saying whether it's going to be nice or not.
