Weather Complications not working watchOS 10 Update

My hack was to cancel the apple weather program and use a third party app. I'd share the name but figure Apple will try to block it somehow. 9 pages of people dealing with this - shameful...

Much thanks fdelillo! Been trying to fix this for a few weeks! Not all the time, just as it grew in annoyance. Restarting watch wasn’t working, checking location services didn’t work. Finally came across your suggestion and bam, Bob’s your Uncle!

The 24 hour toggle hack seems to work only for a few minutes. Also, the 24 hour toggle itself is not permanent. When I put my Ultra on its charger and wake up the next morning, the watch goes to 12-hour but the Watch app in iOS on my 15 Pro Max still shows 24 hour.

Certainly a bug and it looks to be affecting a lot more people than just a couple of us. WatchOS 10.0.1 looks to be a work in progress still.

Hopefully, Apple will have a fix soon. Until then, it'll be constantly flipping the 24 hour toggle :-|

Okay. After a couple of days of "--" for temp on my watch. I clicked on the widget then on the top right corner. I changed it from Conditions to Temperature. Not sure if this will fixs your, but it did on mine. Hope this helps some of you.

I’ve tried that fix per Apple and it doesn’t resolve it.

My process, similar to others, all on the iPhone (14 Pro):

1) In settings, turn off wi-fi

2) In the watch app, select a different face (I have a dummy that I never use), then select the original one -- weather info should load

3) Turn wi-fi back on

My Ultra (1st generation) started having problems with the Apple Weather app a while back when you opened the app the new ring features would disappear. I had to turn off and then turn back on the watch to reset. Now it doesn't show the information on the complications or even when you open the weather app. I usually have to turn off the wi-fi on both my phone (iPhone 14 Pro) and then set the face to edit and hit the home button and then a few other things that are really hit or miss and then it comes back on. For some reason it goes out way more often at home. I wish Apple would address this as I'm sure it's fairly wide-spread.

Realistically, the true fix for now looks to be resetting Location and Privacy on your paired iPhone as detailed in this support article from Apple - If the Apple Watch Weather complication isn't working - Apple Support

After trying solutions on this thread, this finally worked for me for Watch 8/WiFi only:

• Upgraded to watchOS 10.3.1
• Reset location privacy on iPhone (General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy) and granted Weather location access to “Always”
• Set my current location on the iPhone Weather app
• Complication still not working, then I turned off WiFi on iPhone and waited a few minutes
• Weather and Sunrise complications came back on — changed Location Access to my preferred “While Using App or Widgets”
• Waited 5 minutes and then turned WiFi back on my phone
• Complications still working next day

I noticed if changed Location Access from Always to another setting while still on WiFi, the Weather complication would blank out, but the Sunrise comp would stay on. The offline sequence above worked.

Hope this helps!

Same issue on my 15ProMax! Home WiFi on and weather does not update on AWU1. Home WiFi off, loads immediately! On latest watch OS!

Scratch that. Issue has returned several hours after I made my previous post.

I have also noticed that in the settings for the Weather app in the Watch app on my iPhone, it is set to mirror my iPhone's config in the weather app. However, it's not doing that. I had to manually add my city in the watch weather app to get it to report on anything. And even then it only reports on it for a matter of some hours before disappearing again. I have tried changing the settings in the Watch app to various different options then setting it back to my preferred config, but it just seems like it is mostly ignoring any config changes I make.

So we have a pricey, Dick Tracy watch that is claimed to access vast global communication networks and put the world at our fingertips, but in actuality it can't reach reach across the room or display a local weather forecast. These bugs are just embarrassing.

Update: My complications have stopped syncing after the 24hr toggle hack. If I toggle the 24 hr option on/off it syncs, but reverts back to “- -“ several minutes later. This has to be a bug on the 10.0.1 update.

If the toggle 24HR doesn't "stick", your option may be limited to resetting Location and Privacy as documented in this link (official, from Apple) --> Reset Location & Privacy

That's what made it work again for me. It's a bit of a bother with almost every application asking for location permission again, but it seems to be the permanent fix.

Have you tried the full "privacy and location" reset on your iPhone?

That seemed to work for me. Details (from Apple, officially) are here --> If the Apple Watch Weather complication isn't working - Apple Support
