Weather app layers not loading correctly

The Weather radar layer for precipitation regularly fails to load correctly on my iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 16.2). Information appears in the surrounding geographic areas but over my location (with distinct horizontal and vertical borders), the layer is blank. However, zooming in or out reveals the information. There appears to be a specific scale at which the layer is unable to load correctly. Anyone else have the same experience and able to point me to a solution?

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.

still happening with me i have an iphone 15 pro on ios 18.0 they have not improved this issue at all, can rely on their weather app anymore for forecasts nap, i use weatherbug and it's much more efficient i hope they fix it so i can go back to using my regular apps and this issue has been like this since i had my iphone 11 so when i got this new upgrade i thought it wouldn't be a problem anymore, but it is.

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.

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
