Weather app layers not loading correctly

iPhone 13 Pro. Same problem. Precipitation layer doesn’t load. Sometime it will show one square with precipitationsbut never over my location. Dark sky never had this problem. Full bars on 5G or 1 gig internet. No difference. The Apple weather app simply does not show animations on the precipitation layer. Please restore Dark Sky until this is fixed

The panels of the weather animation are completely missing when I enter the map animation. Zooming in/out doesn't help, neither doest restarting phone. 1 out of ten times I try to use it one or two square edge panels load, rarely the one that my location is in (in the center of the screen). Missing DarkSky app...

Hey all, a solution that worked for me was zooming all the way out, let the bar at the top load all the way, then zoom back into the area you want to look at. This was for the 12-Hour Forecast.

I've been seeing this too on multiple iphones, for multiple locations. It appears to be a defective display of the precipitation data for the "Next hour forecast" view.

It affects multiple locations. It is NOT a device connectivity issue. It is NOT resolved by a reboot. It has been observed on different versions of iOS (15.x and 16.x).

Fix it, Apple! You owe us a working weather app after shutting down dark sky!

Same problem here. 12-hour forecast kinda works after allowing location always, at least at one specific Zoom level, but 1-hour forecast shows no rain while it’s pouring outside, at any resolution, even though the little location ballon indicates rain. The progress bar on top tends to get stuck when the data loads and eventually disappears, but even then there’s still no data being displayed.

This aspect of the weather app has been broken for months.

I have the exact same issue on my iPad Pro AND my IPhone 14. When I click on the radar image the “Next hour forecast” time line loads and moves but the radar image does not. If I zoom way out (show the entire region or country, the radar images show up, but as I zoom back in to see my local area, it does not load. :{. Very frustrating.

I live in the US, 25 minutes away from a NWS weather radar location. Updated on 16.3.1 and have adjusted Location Services from Always On to using the app or widget as suggested in other similar threads. The radar sweep did work when that change was made for a while. Rebooting hasn't addressed the issue.

However here's the rub... To trigger location services only when I enable or interact with the app is an unacceptable fix in a severe weather situation. Is it my understanding that if my phone sits on my night stand while I sleep I won't be able to receive severe weather notifications regarding a tornado headed my way?

Apple needs to escalate this issue and fix it.

Exact same issue here as well, on two different model iPhones, both fully updated. It happens on WiFi and cellular, continues after reboots (it happens in macOS as well), on both sides of the USA, exactly as others have described here. Dark Sky just worked. It's especially bad in that in the event of serious and dangerous weather where it's absolutely useless and potentially harmful as an unpopulated radar could lead someone to think the weather is safer than it actually is. I've sent feedback to Apple, maybe if more do they'll notice:

Feedback - Weather - Apple

What I don't get at all is does Apple even use their own weather app? Some of the employees must have noticed this? Either barely anyone at Apple uses weather, or this issue is of such a low-priority that they can't be bothered to fix it after months of it being broken.

I am having the same issue and since it appears to be getting worse, I just uninstalled it. Also, the constant reminders to give it detailed location access permanently were annoying and obtrusive and unnecessary for rain predictions that were never accurate. Weather Underground is a good app for seeing live radar.

As of May 2023, still not fixed. I‘ve been having this exact same issue since I got my iPhone a year ago. Restart and connectivity are not fixes here. Anyone have suggestions for a better app? I’ve lost faith in this one ever working properly.

iPhone 13 Pro user here, been having the same issue since I had to switch away from DarkSky. If that app was able to get weather radar right, why can’t Apple’s? They felt the need to actually go in and shut DarkSky down because they wanted us to use their native app, but their native app’s radar never works. I went from having a good and reliable weather app (that I paid money to get!) to this. Apple should have waited till their app was fully working. Soooo annoying

Same issue here on 17.5.1, over 18 months later. It doesn't matter whether I'm on 5GUW, LTE, or WiFi.

same thing here

The purpose of integrating Dark Sky was to show hyper local and more granular timely forecasts. That the 12hr works but the hyperlocal doesn’t, clearly illustrates that this is an Apple bug — software, or server bandwidth — and it’s an issue that hasn’t been fixed for months.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 14 Pro. The precipitation radar won’t display or animate in 1 hour forecast mode but when I switch to 12 hour (bottom of screen, click the 2 up/down arrows to change) it does display. Hope this helps.
