AGAIN! WeatherKit REST API 502 / slooooooow

Once again, WeatherKit is returning a slew of 502's or is being very, very slow. And, once again, the system status is not showing the problems.

If Apple actually communicated about the problems with WeatherKit, that would be so much better.

I've been working with WeatherKit for a while now and it has got to be the worst API I've ever had to work with. Constant problems, documentation doesn't make any sense, no consistency at all. Unfortunately my app really depends on weather so these outages are continuing to hurt my business. I miss dark sky.......

There is an issue reported on Weather app by Apple in https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Additionally, it is said (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/04/ios-16-4-1-expected-soon/) that iOS 16.4.1 would correct issues in WeatherKit. Let's wait a few more days…

Issue is now resolved.

Yeah, this is still happening. Regularly getting 502 - Bad Gateway Status'.

Also could we get less informative feedback from Apple?
