Here we go again: Apple’s Weather app is down once more for the umpteenth time. Apple acknowledged the latest occurrence of problems on its system status page.
The app started having trouble Monday at 11 p.m. Eastern. More than 14 hours later, the issue was resolved. Temporarily, it seems.
When it works, Apple Weather offers these features:
