Hi,
I've noticed yesterday that the weather app on my iPhone 11 shows different forecast than my wife's iPhone 12.
How is that possible?
I toot screenshots of both of the iPhones and it's quite different. Why is that?
Thanks,
Jakub
iPhone 11
Hello,
thank you for the link, however, the problem on the link is a bit different. As you can see in the pictures I shared, I have the temperature unit set the same (°C), however, the forecast is completely different:
I've laso checked my daughter's iPhone SE and it shows the same weather forecast as mine iPhone 11. Only my wife's iPhone 12 shows different forecast.
I've tried to restart and force restart iPhone. Delete and re-add the cities in Weather.app. non of that worked.
Any idea?

I know, it's no data loss. I've already done that many times (I'm responsible for all Apple devices in my job), however, still it takes time and also have to re-pair Apple Watch and sometimes I already had an issue with reinstalling it. So it's the last option...
Hey jakudo,
There is an article which outlines some changes in the Weather app, which includes the sources. Check it out here:
Feature availability and data sources in the Weather app - Apple Support
Is your wife's iPhone 12 either ahead of your iPhone's iOS version, or behind? That could explain the differences.
Take care!
Thanks for trying those steps, jakudo. However, reinstalling the iOS on an iPhone shouldn’t cause any data loss. Apple Support will be sure that the data on your iPhone is safe before recommending any steps that may remove it for a bit.
You can learn more about reinstalling here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support. Step 4 provides this information:
When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. Your computer will try to reinstall the software without erasing your data.
Also, just as a precaution, they’ll most likely ask you to create a fresh backup to make sure.
Have an excellent day!
Hello mingoslkd,
no, all of our iPhones are on the same iOS version - iOS 16 (I update all of them right when any update is available):
Hi,
just wanna let you know that after update to iOS 16.0.2 has fixed the issue. The weather app know shows the same forecast on all iPhones we have :)

Hi jakudo,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
We're happy to provide some assistance.
When you have a free moment, we recommend you check out the thread below and look at the answer labeled "Apple Recommended."
Weather app showing wrong temperatures
The reason we ask you to take a look at the thread above is because the discussion is similar to the issue that you are experiencing.
If you're still having the same problem after looking at the thread we provided, do not hesitate to reach back out to the community with some specifics on what you see for more help.
Cheers!
Thank you for getting back to us with that information, jakudo. It’s appreciated.
We took a look and compared the photos you’ve sent of your iPhone and your spouses, so we have a couple of things we’d like you to try:
Using Dual SIM with an eSIM - Apple Support -- Whichever iPhone is using two phone lines, turn one of them off for a bit.
Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support -- Make sure that there’s not a Focus running on either device.
Once that’s completed, compare the weather report on both devices.
If they’re still different, we recommend contacting Apple Support to look into this further with you: Get Support
If you’re unable to reach them using the link above, you can locate the Apple Support number in your country or one nearest you here: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
All the best.
Hey jakudo,
If you continue to have issues after that, you’ll want to reach out to Apple Support at the following link so they can look further into this with you:
Take care.
Hello,
thanks for the advices, however, none of them worked :-/
I will call the support, however, I'm a bit worried that their only solution will be to reinstall the iPhone...
Thanks a lot,
Jakub
