No, you didn't forget a standard iPhone or iPad update.
iOS users were thrown off on Tuesday when the iPhone and iPad Weather apps stopped working and didn't have any data on temperatures or the 10-day forecast.
Users saw a blue screen with just the city they selected and dash marks where the temperature number should have been displayed.
App users took to social media to lament their findings — and show how dependant they are on the weather app — with some claiming that the service had been down "for days."
Apple Weather has been a mess lately. Not loading, inaccurate forecasts, etc.

Apple addressed the issue via its System Status dashboard.
The notice claimed that the weather app "may have been slow or unavailable" for "some users" beginning at 3:54 p.m. Tuesday and was resolved by 3:44 a.m. Wednesday morning.
However, when Entrepreneur checked the weather app on Wednesday around 10 a.m. EST, it was still down. But after restarting the app several times, it was working around 11 a.m.
Apple recently revamped its weather app with the release of iOS 16 in the fall of 2022 after the company integrated the purchase of weather service Dark Sky into the app.
