When your iPhone exits this period
without any interaction from you,
it’s immediately trying to display
current weather conditions,
supplied by the Weather app.
The reason they’re inappropriate
is that the app isn’t able to access
your location, so it supplies
information for somewhere quite
different instead.
That often happens when you’ve
set the Weather app to be given
access to location data only while
you’re using it — as in, it’s on the
screen. When the app first starts up,
or posts information like this to the
screen, it’s more likely that it won’t
be able to get location information in
time to know where you are, and it
may fetch data for a seemingly
arbitrary and incorrect location
instead. Developers tend to select
places such as New York City, where
there are plenty of users.
The solution is to go to Settings >
Privacy > Location Services, find and
tap Weather, then set it to always
have access to your location. There
may still be occasions when the
required location info isn’t available
in time for the app to override its
defaults, but outlandish weather
conditions should be less frequent.
There shouldn’t be any
significant disadvantages to giving
the Weather app access to your
location data in this way.
Weather warning
At 7am each morning, when my scheduled Do Not Disturb period ends, my iPhone displays
the current time and weather. However, it’s the weather for somewhere else — for example,
showing a warm day when it’s snowing here. Why is that?

& answersHOW CAN I ACCESS
ICLOUD DRIVE
IN IOS 9.3.5?
You can access iCloud Drive
from iOS 8 (and macOS
10.10) or later, but Apple
recommends using the
latest version. Apps may
need to be more recent:
Pages, Numbers and
Keynote should be 2.5 or
later. Open one of those
apps and it should show
documents stored in your
iCloud Drive.CAN I SET ALARMS FOR
IRREGULAR SHIFTS?
The Clock app only sets
alarms by day of the week.
Events in Calendar trigger
notifications not alarms, and
though you can pick an alert
tone in Settings, it’s applied
to all events. Some third–
party apps can sound an
alarm for Calendar events:
It’s Time can, but only a
couple of days in advance.Apps with location–dependent updates on the Lock screen should
be set to Always in Settings > Privacy > Location Services.Tech Support & Techsplanations
