1. Make sure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
2. If iTunes is already open, close it. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.
3. While your device is connected, force restart it with these steps:
   • On an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Then press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery-mode screen.
   • On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold the Side and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery-mode screen.
   • On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery-mode screen.
     
4. When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Wait while iTunes downloads the software for your device. If the download takes more than 15 minutes and your device exits recovery mode, let the download finish, then repeat these steps.
   
5. After the Update or Restore completes, set up your device.

I had the same issue for quite a while. Apparently, when they did the update it changed some privacy settings...

Make sure that your location for the weather app is set to always. To do this follow the following steps:

1: Open Settings

2: Scroll down to privacy and open

3: Open Location Services

4: Scroll down to find the "Weather" app and open

5: Change location access from never to always

I hope this helps, I know that it fixed it for me after quite some time struggling with this issue

Hi Greg I tried Apple’s suggestion for restarting my iphone and it worked the fix the weather widget so if you have not got it fixed yet, you may want to try to restart your iphone

I'm having same issue. Background app refresh is on & location setting is set to always. Right now my widget says 58 & it's like a lil over 30 degrees (44 to be exact. Had to restart phone)... SMH!

This is a real bad problem! Serious enough it could have killed my dog. I check for cold temperatures to put her in the garage. One evening it said something in the mid 50 degree range, but I questioned it, and opened it to the app to discover it was below freezing! At first I thought it was just my phone, but I see that's not the case now. It would be really easy to glance at it and believe everything is okay for yououtdoor animals.

It did not help me either, tried even resetting all settings, and granting access to my position at all times. It updates when I enter the weather app, but after that the widget does not budge or change in any way.

It is a little frustrating indeed, I am considering going to the Apple Store to see if they have a solution, of if Apple is aware of the issue.

I am having the same issue, and nothing I try seems to fix it. Restarting the phone will update the weather widget once, but it will not continue to update.

This is frustrating because I used to check the weather widget frequently, and now it’s become useless. I had iOS 11 beta for a while and gave feedback on the issue, but apparently Apple hasn’t gotten around to fixing this annoying bug. I wouldn’t expect this problem to be on the stable version of iOS for this long...

This was happening to me, I trialed with turning phone on and off, low power mode on and off.

I found the widget updates if you have the location services for the app turned on. I have mine set to "only when using app" and the widget is kept up to date, however location turns on when swiping left to view the widget.

I have the same issue. i only updated my iphone se a month ago to avoid major bugs. Aparently this issue wont be fixed and you will have to update you location acces. but the thing is i dont want to turn on my localization. it drains the battery and it doesnt need my position to find the weather forcast when i already configured my app to my city!
