How to check the weather on Apple Watch

Use the Weather app to track current and upcoming weather conditions, locally or in locations around the globe. You can easily check on current weather details such as clear or cloudy skies, temperature, precipitation, wind, ultraviolet (UV) conditions, visibility, humidity, and air quality.

You can also see severe weather alerts, view the weather in other locations, and get rain alerts for remote locations. Your Apple Watch keeps its list of locations synced with the list on your iPhone.
