Live weather not working anymore as of today

Hello Gang!

I wonder if something may be going on with Live weather today? I have not been able to get live weather today on any of the airports I’ve tried to fly from (different countries). I mean, the weather depiction in MSFS is horrible (never matches real weather), but today I only get sunny skies and 2 kts out of 245 degrees everywhere. Any ideas?

Log out of your xbox account and log back in. You may need to do it from your x-box app.

also don’t let MSFS select servers automatically. do it yourself and choose the one nearest to you

Re-Logged on XBox, flushed the rolling cache, hard-selected nearest server- weather is back. Thanks all!

Since the last update Live Weather and Traffic do not work at all. When you select some weather the clouds blink.

Make sure that in options > genral > data
live traffic and real weather is on.

I just updated the Xbox app and it appears to have fixed the problem. Just encountered some nice thunderboomers around New Orleans with Live Weather. However, the bridge over Lake Pontchartrain is partially submerged and the cars on it look like boats. I can now see other traffic in the sky but they don’t show up on any of the maps.

Where can I select the nearest server? I can’t find that option in MSFS. Thanks. Dennis

In game click your nickname.
Under servers select > automatic.

Thanks. Is it better to select automatic or just the nearest server to my location?

What TenPatrol told you to do is exactly what I suggest not to do. Note that this doesn’t mean I’m saying he’s right or wrong, but that once I was getting completely incorrect weather, and then noticed that MSFS was trying to auto-select the server. I’m in West Europe and it selected East USA for me. So from then on I select West Europe myself, and always make sure Automatic is not selected before launching a flight. And I got quite accurate weather ever since.

Automatic settings is always server close to my country.

but time to time smth is wrong with weather.
