Weather App Temp is Wrong

Weather app still inaccurate. Very annoying and you can't delete this app on the iPhone.

But you can download and use any one of the numerous other weather apps in the App Store.

Yes I have 2 weather apps but then again I have so many apps it would be nice to cull the ones that don't work very well or that I don't use.

You cannot delete the built in apps. Sorry.

Yes I know. Annoying,isn't it?

The Weather App here in Germany shows most of the time horrible bad Temeperatures und Forecasts 😠

I hope that it will be fixed with IOS8

Same problem in Kansas City, MO USA. Temp is wrong (by 25 degrees), and no location is shown on the Notification message, so I can't even determine what city this weather forecast if for.

If temp is way off check whether you're app is displaying in Centigrade (C˚) rather than Fahrenheit (F˚)--just happened on my 92-year-old mother's phone. On the bottom right of your screen click the glyph the looks like three lines with bullets to their left, then see whether C or F is highlighted in lower left corner. If the C is highlighted, push F.

It's now been almost a year since this original post and my weather app (running iOS8) is STILL wrong. I hate that I can't delete this inaccurate app.....either fix it or let us delete it!

No, you cannot delete it, but nothing is forcing you to use it, nor preventing you from downloading any one of the dozens of apps in the app store.

I don't know many folks that enjoy being forced to store broken apps in their phone's limited storage space. Thanks for your helpful reply....not.

This usually isn't the problem from the Weather app, Yahoo! Weather, or any other weather app. It usually is due to the weather center that they are accessing. I downloaded a weather app called Haze a couple of years ago due to some great reviews. It worked fine for a while but then it started showing temperatures that were way off in my location. Other locations near me were correct but for my location it was usually 20-30 degrees difference. I contacted the app developer and they asked for a lot of information which I provided. They ultimately told me that they had contacted the weather center that was providing data for their app but never gave me any further information. Other apps (including the built-in Weather app) were working correctly so I ultimately deleted Haze from my iPhone. I know you can't delete the built-in app but this may not be something that Apple has the ability to fix.

Thanks. All of the temps for the other cities I've added seem correct. It's just the default location (my city) that's wrong all the time. Can't imagine it uses a different data source. It also coincided with my update to iOS8. Given that this issue has been on the Apple Support Communities forums for awhile, it would be nice if someone from Apple chimed in with info about which weather center they're accessing, or weather (he he...pun intended) they've contacted them about the readings being off. Ya know...status update. Thanks for the extra info.
