What happened to Android's default weather app?

Sorry, wish I could help. Persistence furthers :-).

It’s back to being a sporadic bug for me as well

Today my pixel had 4 Google related updates (Carrier services, Chrome, Youtube, Drive) and maybe it’s a coincidence, but the FROG IS BACK BABY!!
It works as it used to - either by touching the temp in the 5x1 widget or by the home screen shortcut.
Whew, I hope this holds and doesn’t bug-out again.
