Is AccuWeather Down?

No — AccuWeather is up

We cannot measure AccuWeather directly — it blocks automated checks — but AccuWeather's own status page currently reports no issues.

Why there is no uptime figure on this page

The last time we fetched AccuWeather's page directly, the origin answered and turned our client away rather than serving the page. That answer tells us the origin was reachable and responding, but it is a response about our automation, not about whether AccuWeather works for you.

A percentage built from those checks would measure our own access, so we do not publish one. What this page does show is each region's most recent result and AccuWeather's own status feed, which you can weigh yourself.

Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

ams
edge reachable

A static asset loaded in 302ms. That proves the edge is up, but not that the site works.

arn
edge reachable

A static asset loaded in 24ms. That proves the edge is up, but not that the site works.

bom
edge reachable

A static asset loaded in 209ms. That proves the edge is up, but not that the site works.

cdg
edge reachable

A static asset loaded in 102ms. That proves the edge is up, but not that the site works.

dfw

A static asset loaded in 114ms. That proves the edge is up, but not that the site works.

What AccuWeather does

AccuWeather publishes forecasts, radar and severe-weather alerts through its website and mobile apps, and sells the same underlying data to other businesses through commercial APIs. Those feeds put forecasts inside airline, logistics, retail and media products, so an outage can strip weather information out of services that never mention AccuWeather by name.

What an outage looks like

Forecast pages load their layout but leave temperatures, hourly panels and radar tiles blank, or show readings that never advance past an earlier hour. Severe-weather alerts stop arriving while the app still opens and looks normal. Sites and apps that buy AccuWeather data show empty widgets or stale forecasts, which is often the first visible sign for anyone who is not a direct visitor.

What to do about it

Check status.accuweather.com, noting its scope: it reports the Enterprise API and the Developer Portal API only, so an outage of accuweather.com or the consumer apps will not appear there. For active severe weather, go straight to the National Weather Service at weather.gov, which issues US warnings itself and does not depend on AccuWeather to reach you.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says AccuWeather is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

AccuWeather outage FAQ

Is AccuWeather down or is my forecast just stale?
Compare the timestamp on the forecast against the clock. A page that renders fully but shows an observation from hours ago points at a data feed problem behind a working website, which is the more common failure. A page that loads its frame with empty panels points at the site. Either way the reading on screen is not current, so do not plan around it.
Where do I get severe weather warnings if AccuWeather is down?
In the United States, weather.gov and the National Weather Service issue the official warnings, and AccuWeather repackages them rather than originating them. Wireless Emergency Alerts for tornado and flash flood warnings come from the government directly to the handset and are unaffected by any commercial app. NOAA Weather Radio is the offline fallback when the internet is the thing that is broken.
Why does AccuWeather's status page show everything operational?
Because it covers the two commercial API products and nothing else. The Enterprise API and Developer Portal API are what paying data customers depend on, and those are the components AccuWeather reports on. The consumer website and the mobile apps are absent from the page, so a failure that affects ordinary visitors leaves it showing no incident at all.
Does an AccuWeather outage affect apps that are not AccuWeather?
It can. Airlines, delivery firms, retailers and news sites license AccuWeather data and display it under their own branding, so an API outage shows up as a missing or frozen forecast inside an unrelated product. If several apps lose their weather panel at once while everything else in them works, a shared upstream provider is the likely explanation.
Do the radar and the forecast fail separately?
Often, yes. Radar imagery, current observations and forecast models are produced by different pipelines, so one can break while the others carry on. A page showing a current temperature but no radar tiles, or a working radar with no hourly forecast, is a partial failure rather than a full outage. Check more than one element before deciding the whole service is down.

How we measure this

  • We request AccuWeather's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where AccuWeather publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it — and when AccuWeather blocks our checks entirely, we report the vendor's own status directly.
