Why Apple weather app is inaccurate

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

Yes, the Weather app is now entirely useless in obtaining a forecast. It can tell me what’s happening at the moment, but I can look out my window and see that. It will say it’s going to be sunny tomorrow when all of the other weather apps and our local TV news weather says it’s going to snow. Needless to say, it will snow. I’m now using The Weather Channel app, Yahoo Weather or Weather Bug. They all seem to give similar and more accurate forecasts. I’ve reported the issue to Apple but I’ve found them to be very unresponsive in the past.

I think I may know what’s been happening. As it turns out, you should make certain to have ONLY A SINGLE WEATHER APP installed on both the phone and the watch. My SO had multiple weather apps and when she had the watch set to mirror the iphone it was connected to, it seemed to be getting confused maybe because it was polling from multiple weather apps. Those weather apps were also mirrored on the  Watch. I set it to Apple’s weather app and all has been fine ever since.


By the way, once I deleted the other weather apps from the phone and then on the watch toggled off the setting for Apple Weather under the  Watch’s “Background App Refresh” setting, waited 15 seconds then toggled it on I turned the watch off then rebooted the iPhone and logged in. I then turned the watch on and it’s been steady ever since.
