When it works, the Weather widget lets you glance at your Home screen for an update on the latest forecast. Depending on the widget size, it might show the current weather, the forecast for the next few hours, or the forecast for the next few days.

Unfortunately, some users find that the weather Widget appears as a black screen, gets the weather wrong, or shows reports for the wrong location.

If these or any other problems affect the weather Widget on your iPhone Home screen, follow the steps below to fix it.

Temporarily remove the Weather widget

The simplest way to fix most problems with the Weather widget is to remove it from your Home screen, then add it again. You won’t lose any data from doing this, and it only takes a minute to try it.

Tap and hold on the Weather widget until a pop-up menu appears. Then choose to Remove Widget from the bottom of the menu. Confirm you want to Remove the widget in the alert that appears.

Now add the Weather widget again, the same way as you did before: tap and hold in a blank space on the Home screen and use the Add (+) button in the top-left corner.

After adding the Weather widget again, edit your Home screen to drag it back into the right place.
