Apple says its Apple Weather service issue has now been resolved after a disruption that lasted for roughly three hours and 45 minutes, affecting some users who couldn’t get forecast data to load properly.
Based on details from Apple’s official system status page, the outage began at about 10:45 p.m. Beijing time on April 28 and was fixed around 2:30 a.m. on April 29. During that window, some people saw the app hang on a loading screen, while others found that temperature, precipitation, and other forecast details failed to appear at all.
Because the Weather app is built into iOS and used by a huge number of iPhone owners, even a relatively short interruption quickly drew attention across social media. Reports from users matched Apple’s own status page, with the core problem centered on delayed or missing weather data inside the app.
Apple hasn’t shared a technical explanation for what caused the incident. Even so, the practical takeaway is straightforward: the service is back, and affected users should now be able to refresh the app or reopen it to see up-to-date forecast information again.
While the outage didn’t last especially long by internet-service standards, it was still noticeable because weather data is something many people check several times a day. That made the disruption more visible than a background issue in a less frequently used system feature.
