Hey Siri, what's the weather like today?

[0339327]

Despite its many flaws, Siri used to be my go to for weather. While dressing, I would ask, "what's the weather like today" and would get a full forecast: "Currently, it is 50 degrees. Today will be cloudy in the morning with a chance of rain. The afternoon will be sunny with a high of 76 degrees."

Lately, with the same question, I get nothing more than "Today looks like it will be cloudy". That doesn't help. I have to ask several questions of "what is the current temperature?", "what is the high and low?", and "will it rain today?". Asking for a multi-day forecast is a non-starter.

I am not sure what Apple is planning for Siri, but weather was a positive note that has become utterly useless. Anyone else have similar experiences with other sections of Siri? In a world where AI is the the name of the game, it boggles the mind how Apple of all companies puts forth such an embarrassing effort (or lack thereof).

Apple's plan for Siri is to make it even more fcuking useless than it already is...and that's a low bar!

The whole Siri management should be thoroughly ashamed of how inept, useless, unreliable it is! Actually, sack them and get some monkeys in!

Apple has a history of taking things that are actually somewhat usable and dumbing them down to brain-dead irrelevance. This sadly is just another instance.

Maybe it’s a regional thing. I just asked Siri “what’s the weather like today” and got the exact response you mention - full details. Works very well for me and I’ve been quite impressed how it‘s been improved. I forget to use it for a while and then when I do, sometimes after posts like this, I’m very pleased.

Sounds like the same issue as this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/siri-no-longer-gives-full-weather-forecast.2363107/

You could try some of the other specific phrases mentioned in the thread (post #15 and later) to see if one works, results seem to vary.
