iOS 27 weather app: all the new features

At a glance:

• Highlights section added to the top of the Weather app, showing daily key weather data.
• New hourly condition views let users switch between temperature, precipitation chance, and wind speed.
• Extra‑large Home Screen widget size now lets the Weather app occupy an entire app page.

New layout and highlights

On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Apple announced iOS 27. The Weather app received a noticeable redesign that prioritises at‑a‑glance information. The top of the interface now hosts a dedicated Highlights section, which pulls the most essential weather data for the day – temperature, wind speed, and precipitation probability – into a single, easy‑to‑read panel.

Condition views and 10‑day overview

The main Conditions tab has been expanded to include three distinct views. Users can toggle between a standard temperature/condition display, a precipitation view that shows an hour‑by‑hour chance of rain, and a wind view that breaks down wind speed for each hour. The 10‑day forecast also reflects these switches, allowing the user to see precipitation and wind trends over the next ten days without opening a more detailed page.

Widgets and home‑screen integration

iOS 27 introduces an extra‑large widget size for the Weather app. This new size lets the app take up an entire app page on the Home Screen, providing a full‑screen weather dashboard. The widget can be added like any other, but its expanded footprint offers a more immersive view of current conditions and forecasts.

Broader iOS 27 context

While the Weather app saw visual and functional tweaks, Apple’s iOS 27 rollout includes a long list of new features across the system. Among the most talked‑about is the upcoming all‑new Siri app, slated for release next month. The Siri app will bring text and voice interaction to a dedicated interface, integrate with Dynamic Island, and provide access to past conversations. Apple also plans to redesign Siri’s UI with a dark colour scheme that matches the WWDC art.

Apple’s focus on user experience in iOS 27 is evident across the board, from the Weather app’s clearer presentation to the broader integration of AI‑driven assistant features.
