The Apple weather app give a wrong and inaccurate information about the weather in my city. So I have to use a 3rd party app to get a right information. Hopefully the Apple company know about it and fix it in a next updates!
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
Actually, right in the Weather app is the best place to report the inaccuracy where it says "Report an Issue". When you tap on that, you describe the current conditions, and that along with your anonymized location is sent to Apple so they can figure out what data source is currently being used there and better understand the inaccuracy. At least that is the intent so they can get the real time data. That is not going to be possible on the reportaproblem website.
This. Apple weather forecasts for Honolulu in the summer have generally been about 3-8F below the NWS for highs and lows (surprisingly this is the first week I’ve seen in years where the highs are similar to the experts’ but lows still predict much cooler evenings than one experiences). Weather channel often has same problem. The current weather is pretty accurate here though, so every day one can see juxtaposed “H: 83, Current: 88”
Mine is off by 9°. It’s 66 right now and stock weather app is showing 75°. I’ve checked weather.com and google weather and both are showing 65° & 66°. Isn’t apples stock weather app ran by weather.com? Why is it so inaccurate? I’ve also noticed the forecast and current weather on the widget shows different from the “my location” which shows different from the city I’ve saved on the app. And they’re all the same city/zip. My brother and I were sitting right next to each other one day and both looked at the weather for his area with our respective phones. Again both Apple apps reading different current and forecasted weather. 🤦🏼♂️ Common apple.
I live in Boulder Colorado, weather app shows 2.2 inches of snow, we have 24! It’s totally broken on precipitation. Apples response: we have no control of content, contact the manufacturer. Lazy: if there’s not an additional cent of profit to be made they don’t care.
Same here. DONE with it now. Just deleted out the weather app entirely and will visit weather.gov for NOAA accuracy.
This thing just said it's actively 83 now in Chicagoland............it's not. It's about 71 - 73 right now.
No tolerance for this totally useless and inaccurate "tech"
Apple weather is SO
off base most of the time.,.and extremely inaccurate per local temps (many times at least 10
degrees or more.
time to ditch the useless Apple weather app unless apple cares enough to report real temps and conditions!
Radar mapping somewhat helpful but left to phone user to interrupt… because most often temps are stuck at forecast rather than real
time. At least up to date on precipitation which we already know because we are experiencing it!
Apple… wake up… ditch your outmoded algorithms that do NOT universally apply and pay attention to each geographical areas changing weather patterns
Or DROP your attempt at a weather app
Perhaps to check further into the actual unit reporting temperatures
in vicinity of Palmer AK, may show additional sub-units as primary..
This occurs when airport or other official station is also present & worthy.
As a long term resident of Alaska with keen awareness of Wx reports and
also find these 'errors' as actual report centers; yet not necessarily nearest.
South of Anchorage the weather may feature major new seasonal mixes..
from Asia, Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea, north Pacific; old Tropical Typhoons.
The federal NWS AK Region site has great local team to process details.
While they also might be off some miles; as major forecast features shift.
From about 1960, I've seen & heard some odd yet correct forecasts here.
Most AK areas rarely make their own weather; as this region is hyperactive.
The Apple weather app can’t even tell me the current temperature within 15 degrees. My outside thermometer says 66. The weather app says 81.
What I am seeing is that a number of other weather apps are reporting erroneous weather. But some are accurate. I suspect that a feed to the apps is broken, not the app itself.
The weather app has been telling me it has been snowing here in my town for the last 2 hours. There has been no snow and virtually no rain. I asked a friend across town and it is the same thing. This has happened on numerous occasions while hiking as well. Clearly something is wrong and it is almost comical.
Reading this and all the comments is funny and interesting because for me the Apple weather apps has not only been the most accurate of others (way better weather.com for me for instance) it has been extremely spot on every single time for me. Without exception (of course now I am going to jinx it lol)
I have 18 inches of snow outside my door right now, yesterday morning we had none. The app says we have had 1.05” fall in the last 24 hours. So not only is it not accurate in forecasting, not accurate in showing current weather, but it can’t even accurately represent what has already happened.
I agree the apple weather app has literally not once said it was going to snow this winter. It had snowed at least 30times! All the other weather apps can predict the snow coming, it’s on the Apple precipitation map!? This is just crazy that their weather app is this broken. Like mind blowing. Please fix it Apple!
I concur the last few weeks the app has failed to predict oncoming rain and storms. We have currently been woken up by a large thunder and lightning storm. East county got hit with hail. The forecast said sunny skies? A little ridiculous since it’s happened a few times this month.
Same! Right now it’s raining and the weather app says it’s only cloudy. It can never show me the actual weather that’s happening right now, so why should I trust its predictions? I only ever check temperatures and air quality now.
Why Apple weather app is inaccurate
