Tried both steps, didn’t work for me on an ultra 2. The complications seems to be very temperamental.
Got a tip for us?

Applied the fixes mentioned. Worked!
Then next day - broken. Nice performance for a $799 device.

So the fact they had to produce a support document means it is 100% on the top of some ones board to dig deep find and kill this bug, if we all had not bitched and so loudly and called apple care, this would not have happened. The bug is still the bug and it is nasty and it needs fixing, however it is not like a lot of other apple bugs that never get enough public attention to result in a support doc and thus a fix coming for good. Apple has not said yes this is broken and a work around is X, now it is up to the dev hut to get into gear and fix it. This is great news for the long term return to normal service we all have had. They should never had let it happen, however being in tech for 2 decades it will happen, and it will happen again, and thats cause humans make mistakes...... Till the ai overlords step in mistakes will slide out. I bet you this was due to always working with sterile devices that had not lived 9 backup and restores.....
It’s likely that there are multiple factors affecting or Apple hasn’t found a way to replicate the issue reliably.
Okay, finally got it working.
I completely reset my watch back to factory fresh settings.
Re-paired and set up the watch again
Tried the hints from the first post and that didn't work
Did the second step, this one -
If weather data still doesn't load, Apple suggests trying these steps:
Now we wait and see if it holds.

If weather data still doesn't load, Apple suggests trying these steps:
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app, then tap General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone.
- Tap Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy.
- If prompted, enter your passcode and reset.
- Check whether the issue is resolved

This option somewhat modified worked for me using a AW Ultra Gen 1:
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app, then tap Privacy & Security -> Location Services.
- Scroll down and tap Weather.
- Under Allow Location Access, tap Never, then tap your original setting.
- Check whether the issue is resolved.
Tried this but I see no option for “always”…only “never”, “ask next time…”, or “while using app”.
I did the suggestion from previous posts to go on your phone and simply turn off Location Services, back out and wait a minute then turn it back on. Weather complications have been working fine since yesterday morning.
I'd much prefer them fixing the ginormous battery drain. Turning off WiFi might help somewhat, but meh...
My weather widget seems to be working most of the time. When I first updated last week, I got it to work by restarting the watch.
I had a similar issue with the sunrise/sunset complication. What fixed it for me was giving the Clock app my location in the iOS settings.
iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Clock
Then hit "While Using the App", and leave Precise Location off if you'd like.
I'm still annoyed that this is a thing at all when previously I did not have to give the clock my location for this to work, but there it is.

I tried something from the battery thread. I removed all the widgets from smart stacks. Since then (last night) the temperature has been on the watch face and my battery usage is much better (2-3%/hour).
