Weather option on display screen

I recently purchased 2019 BMW X5 and when I was setting up the Info center display, there was an option to have a panel for the weather. I drove the car yesterday and the area I set up was blank. I went to set it up again and there was no option for the weather. I know I'm not going crazy - am I?

BTW - I do have the weather app installed and working if I go to the App area.

Thanks in advance for any ideas..

Go into the apps screen, highlight on the left side of the screen the menu item (I forget what it's called, I'll look on my drive home tonight), and then click the option key. Do the update all apps option that comes up, and that should make the Weather app reappear. If not, the dealer might have to set your car up again.

Losing the weather is a known issue, usually rebooting iDrive brings back the weather panel.

Good point, that has worked for me along with news disappearing and rebooting brought that back too. But that's if there's no news or weather data, not if the app isn't showing up.

I have not heard anyone reporting that the App was gone just that the weather panel was blank like the OP described.

I lost the weather app one time but that was because I had logged out of BMW connected services. when I logged back in , the app was back.
