Mashable reached out to Apple for comment, and we’ll update this story if we receive a response.
DownDetector, the platform where users can report errors with popular websites and apps, does not have a page for the Weather app. However, DownDetector does show sudden spikes in both The Weather Channel app and Apple Support.
Internet outages have become a common occurrence over the past year, but major outages within the Apple ecosystem remain rare.
