I’m on the latest iOS version and I’m experiencing the same. However, my wife is a few minor versions behind, and her‘s is much more accurate.

I’ve switched to Carrot weather instead and it offers Apple Weather as a source which gives similar results as the main weather app. Seems to be something wrong with the weather API. I use Foreca as a source primarily now.

My understanding is the pandemic actually caused some serious gaps in weather forecasts. Some commercial flights transmit weather conditions to central authorities , which are extremely useful for building granular forecasts.

During the pandemic, commercial air traffic plummeted. While it has returned to normal levels, it seems the models are still missing some historical data.

Interesting. Not sure that is the issue here though. No other weather forecasting source has had similar issues recently.

I’ve had issues with nearly all of them.

At the end of the day, most of these tools are simply displaying NOAA data in the user friendly format.

Same here - i'm on iOS 14 and iOS15 (long story) while wife is on iOS16 (iPadOS) and we're debating same.

Seems that mine old versions are much more accurate.
