Troubleshooting

How to fix National Weather Service not working

When National Weather Service itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:

Your browser tries to reach weather.gov over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Reload and restart

    Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

  2. Try another connection

    Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not National Weather Service.

  3. Update the app

    Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

Same time

Problems at the same time as National Weather Service

Since 12 November, National Weather Service's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

Checked from our server in Frankfurt, Germany, 2 h ago, for www.weather.gov. A service behind a CDN answers from many data centres, usually the one nearest to you, so these addresses are where its traffic enters, not where its own servers stand. Visitors elsewhere may see different addresses.

Checked from 12 places around the world

11 of 12 locations got an answer from www.weather.gov. Fastest from Singapore (22 ms), slowest from São Paulo (1,610 ms). Every location connected through Akamai International B.V. (AS20940), using 10 different addresses.

How we track National Weather Service

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for National Weather Service, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for National Weather Service, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. National Weather Service doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
