Why Apple weather app is inaccurate

Yes, the Weather app is now entirely useless in obtaining a forecast. It can tell me what’s happening at the moment, but I can look out my window and see that. It will say it’s going to be sunny tomorrow when all of the other weather apps and our local TV news weather says it’s going to snow. Needless to say, it will snow. I’m now using The Weather Channel app, Yahoo Weather or Weather Bug. They all seem to give similar and more accurate forecasts. I’ve reported the issue to Apple but I’ve found them to be very unresponsive in the past.

I have the same issue. Every forecast, without exception, is completely wrong.

I agree the apple weather app has literally not once said it was going to snow this winter. It had snowed at least 30times! All the other weather apps can predict the snow coming, it’s on the Apple precipitation map!? This is just crazy that their weather app is this broken. Like mind blowing. Please fix it Apple!

I have 18 inches of snow outside my door right now, yesterday morning we had none. The app says we have had 1.05” fall in the last 24 hours. So not only is it not accurate in forecasting, not accurate in showing current weather, but it can’t even accurately represent what has already happened.

Apple seems to have absolutely no interest in fixing it. But they will: if enough people say they’re switching to an Android.

it is amazing their lack of concern for their customers.

My apple i3 pro is always reporting inaccurate weather and my sons i3 not a pro is accurate. Feel the one I got for more money was a waste

The current temp here -30.6 Celcius , Apple weather says it is -24 ..

Darksky has always been horrible. It presents high/low forecasts based on 12AM of that day, instead of dusk to dawn like all other weather apps.

I really wish I could use a different weather service on Apple Watch for complications.

The weather app has been telling me it has been snowing here in my town for the last 2 hours. There has been no snow and virtually no rain. I asked a friend across town and it is the same thing. This has happened on numerous occasions while hiking as well. Clearly something is wrong and it is almost comical.

I concur the last few weeks the app has failed to predict oncoming rain and storms. We have currently been woken up by a large thunder and lightning storm. East county got hit with hail. The forecast said sunny skies? A little ridiculous since it’s happened a few times this month.

I live in Boulder Colorado, weather app shows 2.2 inches of snow, we have 24! It’s totally broken on precipitation. Apples response: we have no control of content, contact the manufacturer. Lazy: if there’s not an additional cent of profit to be made they don’t care.

The Apple weather app give a wrong and inaccurate information about the weather in my city. So I have to use a 3rd party app to get a right information. Hopefully the Apple company know about it and fix it in a next updates!

I agree I am giving up using it as it just gets weather it’s going to rain or not in the very near future wrong all the time. It’s bad.

However… a friend has an Iphone 7 that has the correct weather time and time again?

I had found the Apple weather app to be very accurate, until recently. We just had a storm come thru. For days the local stations were predicting 2”-3” of snow. The weather app was predicting 20”. The storm came thru, we got 4”, the weather app said we got 18”.
