The Windows 11’s weather widget now offers a detailed weather forecast
The detailed weather widget is coming with the 23H2 release.
- The feature is now live in the Windows Insider Program.
- It can warn you about specific weather conditions in time.
- The 23H2 release should bring the feature to all Windows 11 users.
Windows 11’s weather widget will get a detailed weather forecast with the 23H2 release, later this month. Spotted by Windows enthusiast, @XenoPanther, the weather widget now shows the time until a certain weather condition happens.
For example, the weather widget will tell you that you should expect rain in your area today, but you generally have no idea when, or the time is not specific. However, now the Windows 11’s weather widget will tell you exactly when it will happen: in 2 hours or 45 minutes.
The feature is now live on the Windows Insider channels, meaning the change to the widget will also come in the 23H2 release. So you’ll soon be able to get a detailed weather forecast and plan your day accordingly. Or, at least, you’ll know not to go to those sudden shopping sessions, as there will be rain in 30 minutes.
You won’t have to do anything to enable the detailed weather forecast in Windows 11, as it is part of the widget. For a more handy situation, you might want to place the weather widget on your taskbar so that you won’t miss any information.
Windows 11 23H2 will bring a detailed weather forecast
If you’re not part of the Windows Insider Program, you shouldn’t worry. This feature will be available in the Windows 11 23H2 release, which will come out later this month, or in October. Just in time for you to schedule your activities, with the rainy seasons.
The release will also bring the now-famous Windows Copilot. And if you don’t trust the Windows 11’s weather widget, you can always ask Copilot to tell you the weather of your area for the next hours.
However, as Copilot will use the internet, and is based on Bing, it will tell you the same thing the weather widget tells you.
So you might just use the weather widget. Are you excited about the 23H2 release?
