iOS 5.0.1 Weather App is buggy

The photo really says it all.

See the date at the bottom that says "Updated 12/28/11"

Now notice how the first day on the list is "Saturday"

The problem is that 12/28/11, today, is Wednesday!

Some Notes:

That is Manhattan, IL in 60442, but the bug occurs no matter what the actual location.

It does not matter that it's currently on the "Local Weather" pane. I have several cities and I've seen this issue occur on one or more panes at any given time.

No matter what day is today, this bug always shows Saturday up top, the same current temperature of 25 F as well as same forecast for remaining days. It's like a static image since the data within is always the same. I first saw this happen last Thursday with those same forecasts & temperatures. I especially remember the current conditions of "Sunny & 25 F" since it was actually raining and 45 F.

It may occur on the "Local Weather" pane while in 60442 but at the same time the actual pane for the same city will be correct.

It does not matter if I disable "Local Weather", this problem just randomly pops up on another city's pane.

Force quitting/restarting the Weather app does not fix it.

Adding/Deleting cities and/or turning Local Weather on/off seems to fix it, but only temporarily. This annoying problem will come back soon.

Running iOS 5.0.1 on a iPod Touch 32 GB Third Gen (Late 2009) and syncing with latest version of iTunes on 10.6.8

Just yesterday, iPod was wiped and restored for a different issue, but obviously it did not fix this Weather app bug.

Oh, and i just use other, better, weather apps. The Apple app is not the best anyway. I like the Weather Channel app.

Lately, I haven't been thinking too much about the weather app, and there is no incorrect data showing; it hasn't done this in a while. For those who still may have it, there will be an update coming out in maybe a few weeks so that should iron out the problem! Also, bfnb, I have noticed that I have the same wifi problem as you. Sometimes it doesn't show my network in the wifi settings, but then it will show that I am connected up in the status bar. Weird....and I too, have to switch wifi on/off when it doesn't connect. Hope to see this problem solved in the next update, also.

I can confirm the same exact issue persists in 6.0.1

I am at present in the UK and have found this Yahoo weather dated problem but did not see this problem at home in Hong Kong. I note the first comment on this list is nearly two years old. It's surprising that Yahoo cannot fix this problem. cjdurbs iPhone 4S OS7
