Make sure Background App Refresh is on and also Location Services are either set to Always or While Using the App. It does take up to about 10-20 seconds to update. I am assuming you are talking about the widget that appears when you swipe your screen to the leftmost screen? You can also try power cycling your phone and/or removing the widget and adding it back.

I have also had this problem with my new iPhone 8 plus. When I reboot, it seems to work for a little while, but then stops updating properly. When I swipe over to view the widget, it “blinks” like it’s refreshing but nothing changes. The location, current temp, and hourly forecast are all stuck on the same thing as about 10pm last night. I have checked both Location Services and Background App Refresh, but it didn’t fix the issue.
