Why is the Weather App Not Working on iPhone?
The Apple Weather app experienced a widespread outage affecting many users, preventing them from accessing current weather information on their iPhones or iPads. This app usually provides detailed weather reports and forecasts for local and global locations.
On Wednesday, users encountered erratic behavior where the app failed to display any weather data at all. Instead of showing temperature and weather details, some users saw a blue screen with the location name and no information. The issue was intermittent, meaning it didn't happen consistently with every attempt to access the app.
Apple's System Status and Developer System Status pages indicated an outage starting around 2:10 p.m. EST, but by 5:45 p.m. EST, they reported that everything was back to normal. Despite some users still experiencing problems immediately after the outage, it seems that Apple has resolved the issue by the evening of June 5th.

Weather Unavailable iPhone
If you tried using the Apple Weather app on Wednesday and saw "Weather Unavailable" error messages, you're not alone. The app is having problems and many users can't check the weather right now.
Update: Apple has said there's been an issue with Apple Weather since 11 a.m. PT. They mentioned that weather updates might be slow or not working at all. Some users can't see updated forecasts, and the app's widgets show error messages. Siri is also having trouble showing weather info for some people. While a few users say the app works, it's very slow.
Even though people are talking about these problems on X (formerly Twitter), Apple's System Status page shows the Weather app is working fine.
The Weather app is already installed on every iPhone and Apple Watch. It's now on iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura too, and you can use it on Apple TV with Siri.
