Weather Complications not working watchOS 10 Update

This is happening again, except turning off wifi now no longer works

On my iPhone 15 Pro Max, weather is not even listed under complications. Why?

i think there’s a defect in the weather app on the watch in general. I noticed that when the watch restarts, it takes a long time for the data to appear. I had to delete the weather widget in the Smart Stack because it was eating battery and if I even open the weather app on my watch it chews up the battery. Right now I’m using a face with no weather complications.

So, this is what I have noticed so far - weather complications simply go blank. To fix it, I set up a different watch face and long press and choose THAT face, then do the same to go back to my preferred watch face with weather.

that seems to reload data. But, it only lasts a while. It looks like when the top of the hour strikes, the hours change (and I do use the 24 hour clock) and the complications blank out again.

Again, I hope Apple fixes this bug soon enough.

OK, I'm trying this option. Just removed the weather app... which also removed all my weather related widgets from my iPhone 15 Pro Max... and from my Apple Watch Ultra.

Re-installed, rebooted, re-added all my weather related widgets back to iPhone, re-added the weather watch face to Apple Watch.

So far, it seems to be holding but I'm going to be putting this on my nightstand charger in a few minutes. I'll report back tomorrow morning. I'm hopeful :-)

Interesting. One additional update from my end that may be helpful to some. After uninstalling the weather app, and reinstalling, it started working fine. Later in the evening it sopped, but then my watch updated to Watch OS 10.01 overnight. Woke up and it has been working just fine. So, I'm interested to see if others have fully reproduced that scenario (i.e., iPhone is on 17.02, Watch is on 10.01, Weather app fully uninstalled and reinstalled). Note that the cities were apparently stored in iCloud. All saved weather locations restored when I reinstalled the app.

the clock settings does not work for me..

but my fix:

go to iphone settings > weather > location and set from "while using the app" to "while using the app and widget"

after that, the weather on my apple watch widget updated immediately.

I found a workaround for this bug (it worked for me so far). Make sure your iPhone and Apple Watch software are all up to date. On your iPhone, go to Settings> Privacy & Security> Location Services> turn this off and turn it back on then scroll down and go to Weather and click "Never" then click "While using the App or Widgets" and make sure the Precise location is on. Now go to your Apple Watch weather app, your current location should show up and the widget should show your current weather's location. Hope this method will help!

I recommend updating your WatchOS software to version 10.0.2 which released today. There are some reports (not yet confirmed) that the new version fixes many or all of the glitched Complications, particularly for Apple Watch Ultra 2.

My problem with empty weather was fixed by switching to 24h clock.

but then I got 10.0.2 update and now weather shows me the weather in California instead of nyc

That seems to indicate the root cause of the bug was not addressed. Unless we actually hear from an Apple software person, we're rather at their mercy. Which sucks.

Apple suggests a „potential" solution. Here https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/27/apple-offers-fix-weather-complication-apple-watch/

For me it worked the resetting location and privacy (second solution). Let see how long it will work.

AWU 1, WatchOS 10.0.1

Method 1, "turn it off and on again" for Location settings did not work for my AWU 1... trying method 2 now.

With the first method, I needed to reboot the watch first. And it wasn't a "sticky" solution - it would stay in place of hours, then flake out again. It seemed to flake out most when switching connections - moving from WiFi to Cellular, for instance (and vice versa).

I will try the second method (reset location and privacy) later today.

Same problem here when I activated an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I reviewed settings and found it was set to Right Wrist instead of Left Wrist where I wear it. I corrected this and magically the weather complication started working again.

Well that didn't last too long. After a few hours the weather complication disappeared again. But, something that has been working for almost a full day now, on the iPhone weather app I removed then added back all locations/cities. I also added my current location which matches "My Location" in the weather app. After less than an hour the weather complication worked again and hasn't quit since.

Like most other solutions here I don't know if this actually fixed the problem or is just a coincidence.
