AccuWeather is forecast cloud with phone following. Places, alerts, and MinuteCast prefs live in your account. The phone caches maps and live radar.
Same login means same cities. Exact cache names shift with Premium versus free builds. Keep location on for hyperlocal rain alerts. If places vanish, check the login method first. A social versus email split is the usual duplicate default cities cause with weather apps. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move AccuWeather places to a new phone?
Sign in on the new phone and places return from the account. Phone holds login and forecast cache only. Alerts read from cloud. Check the email before wiping, since a second account shows default cities and hides premium radar.
Does AccuWeather back up my places?
Yes, in the cloud account once followed. The phone holds a working copy plus forecast cache. Alerts rebuild after sign in. Reinstalls restore the same places after login. Screenshots of custom alert thresholds help, since those sometimes reset.
