I STRONGLY suggest you read this post by Bugheadz describing the true cause of the issue. Your suggestion/comment is not valid: please remember that correlation is not necessarily causation

I came up with the idea after reading your post @Bugheadz
General Options > Data > Live Weather
Turn off, save, turn on and save (during the session, not in the main menu) and return to the game. Once the weather and METAR came back the first time, once the second time, the third time again the first time 
I donāt know how many Azure servers support weather and which one is broken but this way you can connect to another one that works and have live weather.
I am from Greece. I confirmed that using a VPN from Japan server fixes the issue for me.
Connect the VPN BEFORE starting MSFS, as it clearly decids on which server to use for weather upon start.
I will see if this is consistent by testing other areas also and making full flights and will report back
I feel for them. Worked in IT on the software development side, but IBM was contracted to handle all the servers. What a mess. We needed our blood pressure meds handy at all times.

Poland, western Europe server, still got no live weather at any airport.
This morning I have flown from LOWW to EPGD and after few minutes after spawn seemed like the weather was ok but only in southern direction.

I just had a bounce around the world, and it worked at all destinations. I then tried to break it by switching live weather on/off, while also changing locations. No luck, I had the correct METAR each time.
The airports I tried are below, but it doesnāt sound like that is relevant in any way, other than these airports have weather stations so we arenāt looking at an inaccurate blend of METAR plus Meteoblue forcasts.

Thank you for this! This is what weāve been asking for. Very much appreciated.

That was im refering to when i spoke some posts above about improving support communication here in the forums.
Thx for a clear statement und keeping us updated by first-hand.
Can someone try KRNO and see if it works for them? Iām noticing that even though Iām getting live weather at some of the airports mentioned in this thread, I am not at KRNO. The METAR is current and is clear, but there is no snow on mountains and the pressure is not accurate. Iām mostly just curious at this point, the issue seems slightly in-sim location dependent.
Just throwing my hat in too. Iām in Jersey Channel Islands and have had no clouds around EGJJ my nearest airport to home for two weeks with live weather. Currently cloudy outside but none on MSFS, our holiday makers would love it, if it were true.
P.S. MSFS, PLEASE change the time zone in the Channel Islands to the correct LONDON time. Flightsim has always put us British Islands to French time ever since you could fly to EGJJ, EGJB and EGJA.
I hope the weather gets sorted soon, Love flying Live Weather.

Zero clouds for me today again. Weather was working two days ago. LEPP metar says 12000ft ceiling and 4000 broken. Crystal clear skies in the sim. Series X.
Finally some sincere and honest information. Thank you. It requires some courage to admit issue with Microsoft flagship service (Azure). But such courage and transparency deserves respect of the users.
Thank you for replying. I got the snow injected after about 12 minutes. Interesting.

Thatās understood. Thank you. But it is unfortunate terminology.
When Arthur Conan Doyle had Sherlock Holmes utter the words āMy dear Watson, the case is solvedā, I donāt think he meant it āWatson, In actuality, I am yet to determine the causation of our current upsetā.

One way Iāve found to be able to get Live Weather to load just about every time is to connect to a US VPN from my home in Canada. I have no idea why this works but it does almost 100% of the time.
Location: Poland. Live Weather is working properly. Iāve moved to airports all over the world. Each time data correct and clouds loaded.

Back to where we were again a few days ago. No clouds, metar and winds are correct again but this time they donāt inject clouds at all, where as before they would inject after takeoff. Edinburgh to Paris CDG. No clouds at all the whole route yet we have clouds IRL. Thanks for the Update regarding the Server and Azure. West Europe Server.
Try Cannes France but it can be temp problem.
Yes as has been said, we need wait.
I have been flying at diferant locations today with real world weather turned on and no clouds anywere?
