Why Apple weather app is inaccurate

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

This is worst in Nepal, apple should remove weather option for Nepal, it’s super wrong, even after reporting issues they don’t fix.

All you need to do is delete the app. It is not required that you use it and others in your region may still find it useful. Problem solved!

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.

I had found the Apple weather app to be very accurate, until recently. We just had a storm come thru. For days the local stations were predicting 2”-3” of snow. The weather app was predicting 20”. The storm came thru, we got 4”, the weather app said we got 18”.

With Dark Sky I could advance up to seven days and see and predict the hurricanes . And it was perfect. Apple doesn’t want us to know more than we need to . It’s called stay tune that benefits Apple and third parties

It’s completely frustrating that the Apple weather data has become so unreliable, especially when Weather info is so integrated into Lock Screen, Apple Watch, etc. What’s the point of displaying useless info everywhere? Right now, Apple Weather says it’s 12 degrees warmer outside than all other weather apps (and yes I have Precise Location turned on). Yesterday, all other weather apps and local TV stations predicted heavy rains and storms overnight but Apple weather said just 10% chance for a single hour. Sure enough, we received several hours of heavy rain. What the heck does Apple do with its trillion dollar empire in Cupertino (another irritation is that they always default time zones based on that little town like it’s the center of the universe). I’d switch back to Google Pixel in a heartbeat if I could (but I’m stuck for now).
