I guess Siri expects you to continue with a request. That's why Siri doesn't "get it" ... Siri listens but doesn't have anything to do for you, which is her job. Try: "hey Siri good morning. What's the temperature outside ? (First few times you may need to name your city, until Siri learns where.)


We used to have to "wake" Siri, before asking a question or request.

Currently, Siri expects a question or request right away when "Woken" . ( Saves busy people time and energy. )


Siri can only do what she is programmed to do, and what the settiings in place allow. Siri can learn from you though, and "Apple Intelligence" changes are coming, if not already in place in the most recent iOS versions.
