Gloomy forecast: The Weather Network is down after cyber-attack
The Weather Network is down after suffering from an apparent cybersecurity incident, leaving Canadians without a forecast.
dailyhive.comI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute feeds right now, but here’s the latest generally available context about The Weather Network (TWN) based on recent reporting.
- The Weather Network has historically faced incidents around cybersecurity and service disruptions, with past coverage noting outages and restoration efforts related to third-party software integrations. These events can affect app/website access and meteorological data delivery, though emergency alerts (Alert Ready) are typically maintained in such incidents.[1][3]
- In 2023, reports highlighted the network’s restructuring efforts, including integrating climate coverage into main weather reporting, which affected the climate desk portion of the operation. This reflects ongoing editorial strategy rather than a single-point outage.[2]
- The Weather Network remains a major Canadian weather information source, with ongoing news coverage about weather, climate, and related science topics accessible on its site and through partner outlets.[6][9]
