Weather app radar data continually missing around Houston, Texas

It’s not a data issue, it’s an app display / rendering issue. If you zoom in enough the data is there, and when you try and pull back it vanishes.

I have used dark sky for probably 10 years, until the day it finally shut down. Never had this issue so clearly the native Apple weather app developers are having a hard time making an essential app after they revoked the app I used daily. Great.

Been having the same issue consistently. Switching to 12 hour display works! Thanks for sharing.

Apple, listen to your customers and fix this!

Thanks for letting us know, BeagleMom11,

Do you experience the same behavior if you're connected to an alternate network such as a different Wi-Fi network or a cellular network?

You can also delete and reinstall the Weather app. This may help you: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

If you have any VPN or security software installed on your devices, this can also impact your network connection which would prevent the app from loading properly. This article will show you how to check: Check VPN (Virtual Private Network) and third-party software to help resolve network connectivity issues

If you're unable to isolate this behavior further, we would suggest that you contact Apple directly to investigate this further with you. They'd be best suited to help. You can reach them here: Contact Apple Support

Take care!

Temporary Fix

1. Click the three dots and dashes on the bottom right when you open weather app
2. Add a new city and make it somewhat far away from your current location
3. Tap on the new city and click on radar. The radar map will work normally for your current location

Same here... found this thread while searching for a solution. Switched from Next Hour to 12 hour and it's working now.

Same here in Virginia and random chunks are missing as you mess with zoom. I contacted Apple a week ago. They said they had no idea about it, nobody has reported it except me. Go report it cuz they said they don’t look at forums for problems to fix. Nobody is helping the problem complaining here instead of to Apple.

I’ve reported it. Had a call with a ‘Genius’ also fed back multiple times using the Feedback option in the app. They are fully aware. Was even told they had been having issues with the precipitation radar and had made efforts to fix it.

the same problem is present in Virginia. This is a defect with the Weather app. This is not a problem of not having the phone software updated. Dark sky did not have this problem.

Same in the UK. Been happening for weeks, random blocks of missing rain radar. Mainly wherever I am at the time. If you zoom in or out it generally shows the missing greyed-out areas. Return to the previous zoom level and it disappears again.

Same here, the radar isn't rendering all areas of the map... it's a pretty consistent issue regardless of what methods you try to resolve.

I miss Dark Sky for this very reason .. it actually worked.

Quality control on software updates are slipping a lot with Apple these days more than ever.

I was having the radar "blocks" issue in Jan. I start on the home page, click on the stationary radar map, and get the radar screen. Now I get NO radar images on the 2-hr. moving radar unless I'm zoomed way out. If I'm zoomed out so Maine's northern border is at top of screen and VA/NC border is at bottom of screen, I get fine moving radar showing the rain that is falling now. If I zoom in just a little from there, the radar image disappears - just the map is left.

The stationary radar map at the bottom of the home page shows the rain fine.

[I deleted and reinstalled the weather app, tried it with WIFI only and Cellular only - nothing works]

I zoomed way out to see the whole USA, and radar map changed to the 12 hour map. I am able to zoom in on Boston and have the correct radar image. ??? Maybe the 2-hr. map is gronked???

the radar has been broken like this for so long - suspiciously long - what do they actually do over at apples headquarters? I could fill a book with apple’s outstanding and unresolved iOS / macOS bugs. -it’s not actually Houston that’s missing data - it’s wherever the user’s current location is. Aka the only part of the map I’m concerned about when I’m checking the weather… my current location.

Same here - near Pittsburgh, PA. Dark Sky worked beautifully. I have not been able to "see" precipitation/radar data in action for my area since the switch. Not on my old phone, not on my brand new phone, all updates available have been made, I have used cellular and multiple wifi networks... the issue is not with the user.

Please fix this.

Thank you.

I have the same issue for my location in Michigan. My iPhone is updated, I’ve restarted several times. The problem is inApple’s weather app that replaced Dark Sky. I get a close up of color-coded weather map (see screenshot) but not in the full screen (see screenshot); if I zoom out to the whole US, I get one band of info (See screenshot).
