I haven’t noticed any problems with live weather all weekend for me, 

Same…I flew from KORD to KSTL and landed at 12:20 ET yesterday with very accurate weather, Barometric pressure, winds aloft, etc, etc. I was on The US East server.  I wonder what would still be going on for others.

When you say "loaded into the sim", are you referring to the main menu for example, or when loaded into the airport?

Into the airport.Looks like most of you are on US servers with the issue, as i said before it's working fine in Europe

Yet most people on the official forum complaining are on Euro servers.

Crying? Pointing out your assumption was incorrect in an attempt to keep the thread factual is "crying" is it?

Ok 🙄

@Car147, wind it in! Someone is having a problem and that's your response?

[Car147 2,278]

Thanks. i'm done here.

Set up a flight from EGNT (Newcastle) and apparently it’s 20 degrees and sunny!

Went to the toolbar, turned live weather off then on and temperature dropped to 4 degrees. Still no clouds though.

Weather is messed up for me too.  The current in-game metar at KATL is from Feb 2 but what is depicted doesn't even match that metar.

Interesting.. I've been having this issue also for days (live in USA), so I have a vpn and decided to log into a VPN Europe server and now live weather works in MSFS.

I have found that the METAR text shown in the Live Weather window is (apparently) not derived from the actual METAR being injected, but from an external database of METAR reports that are evidently not being updated at the moment.

I spawned yesterday at my home airport at 1930Z on Feb 4, and the in-game text METAR report was stuck on Feb 2 at 1550Z. However, the temperature, wind and pressure actually being injected into MSFS was indeed from the latest METAR of Feb 4 at 1853Z . The (false) METAR text showed the pressure was 29.45 - which would have been valid on the date and time shown, but the real current METAR, which I obtained from Foreflight, had the pressure at 30.36, and that was exactly what was being injected into MSFS. The wind and temperature were those of the current METAR as well.

However, there were no clouds at all and there should have been a solid overcast at 6000 feet.

The same experience for me. The METAR in the sim is days old. The sim is injecting something close to the current METAR that I have pulled from a website but I have doubts if this is actually accurate much of the time but there is no depiction of weather at all.

Well, that was what I encountered yesterday. I haven't bothered to look today but judging by all the complaints going in over on the MSFS forum it doesn't look like it's worth my bother anyway as it sure isn't fixed. FIne by me as the snooker is on anyway.

Someone or something has screwed up something and really knackered the weather, unfortunately. System ist kaput.

Yes, same here, seems to be injecting weather based on metars from 3 days ago.

This is really frustrating and I wish Asobo would get their act together.  Even my standby, REX Weather isn't injecting clouds at the moment either.  

Very strange.

I'm having the same experience as yesterday.  Upon loading the flight, weather is default conditions.  Then about 10 later it loads accurate winds, and temperatures.  Then ~5 minutes later it loads the rest (clouds and snow coverage).  Maybe what I'm seeing at 10 minutes is actually old METARs?  Once everything is loaded at 15 minutes though it seems to be current/accurate for me.
