I haven't looked to see what, if any weather app is installed in my car, but if I say Hey Google what's the weather then it works fine for me.

In my case, car is equiped with the Sensus headunit for which the weathet app has the problem we describe.
I am not sure if voice command for weather is supported in this unit, I am guessing B4 may have the Google one instead.

Apologies, I'd missed that it was Sensus where the problem lay. I never installed the weather app on my previous car so don't know if it worked or not.

Hope you guys get it sorted soon.

Yes I can confirm too that is fixed.

I have just renewed my subscription for Volvo cars app and i thought it had something to do with this but apparently not.

Well works partially...

Before it would pickup the location of the car and show the corresponding weather of the areas driving through. Now it picks up only the initial location and you need to manually refresh it to get the current location/ weather.

Let's see if they'll be fixing this as well .

A small update, seems the refresh is time based (around 15 to 30m) rather than location based.

I had a similar problem with my XC40's Sensus system. A full system reset did the trick for me. Just remember to back up your settings and data before doing it.
