Since Apple axed Dark Sky, I’ve been giving the native Weather app the old college try.
My main complaint is that when you view current conditions for a location, the static image of radar for precipitation data seems correct, but if you tap on it to get past and future data in motion, it shows nothing.
Do others see this?
iPhone 14 Pro Max, 16
Update:
Like mikebdba, the issue persists in iOS 16.3. If you see his comment, it sounds as though it did not exist in 16.0.3. I contacted Apple Support about this on 2/9/2023. They had me try a few things such as deleting and re-installing the Weather, disabling and re-enabling location services, with no effect. The case is in the process of getting escalated. Worth mentioning, if you zoom out, you frequently can find areas where the in-motion radar is working, but it is in little squares in odd and inconsistent locations, and they will only show up at certain zoom levels.

You also can leave feedback for Apple regarding the weather app if you'd like to do so here: Product Feedback - Apple
Hello jrbapple,
We understand that when you check the Precipitation Map, it doesn't seem to load fully. Have you made sure to update to iOS 16.3 yet? If not, back up and update, and then see if that helps: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If the persists on iOS 16.3, use this link to get in touch directly for further assistance: Apple Support
Cheers!
Hi,
If you're talking about the Next-Hour Forecast, the issue you're facing is likely because of your location. The Next-Hour Forecast feature in weather is only available in the United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom. If you're in one of those countries and are facing this issue, it could be a good idea to contact Apple Support again and see if there might be something else you can try: https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=arssw
See where certain Weather features are available: Feature availability and data sources in the Weather app - Apple Support
Hope you find this helpful!

I'm having the same problem both on my phone and mac. iOS 16.3 and Ventura 13.1. Seems like a server-side problem.
Somehow I don’t think that Apple Support link is going to help resolve the issue…
I live in the US, 25 minutes away from a NWS weather radar location. Updated on 16.3 and have adjusted Location Services from Always On to using the app or widget as suggested previously in this thread. The radar sweep did work when that change was made.
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.
I miss Dark Sky too (paid subscriber), IOS 16.3.1. Apple live radar is non-functional here in Dallas. We're in a major storm, 80 mi/hr straight line winds. Local TV station app is cluttered but functionsl, so the feed isn't the problem!
Come on Apple, fix this!
It was not working for me on 16.2, but was working for my wife on 16.0.3. We both updated to 16.3 and it does not work for either of us. I miss Dark Sky...
Dopplar radar on the Weather app is useless. Bring back Dark Sky!!
Weather radar in motion doesn’t work?
