Small widget for fast current conditions
The small Weather widget is made for crowded home screens. It keeps the current temperature, condition, and essential forecast signal visible without taking over the page.
Weather widgets for Android
Weather widgets guide
A good weather widget should answer the next decision before you open the full app. Weather keeps current conditions, daily outlooks, humidity, and 3-hour UV peaks close to the Android home screen in layouts that stay readable at a glance.
Choosing a layout
Pick the widget size that matches the way you check weather.
Medium widget for practical context
The medium layout adds more of the details people usually check before leaving: humidity, the near-term forecast, and UV information. It is the balanced choice when you want more context without opening the app.
Large widget for a fuller outlook
The large widget gives the weekly forecast more room. Use it when your home screen has space for current weather, highs and lows, and quick planning cues in one calm panel.
Forecast readability
See the weather details that change your day.
3-hour UV peaks
Weather highlights the strongest UV value expected in each upcoming three-hour window. When the UV Index is 3 or higher, WHO guidance recommends combined protection: shade, clothing, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Check current WHO guidance.
Humidity and daily outlooks
Humidity and daily highs and lows help explain how the forecast will actually feel. The widget keeps those signals close to the temperature so the screen stays useful without becoming noisy.
When to open the full app
Use the widget for quick checks throughout the day. Open Weather when you want the full forecast screen, air details, a seven-day outlook, or a manual refresh before heading out.
Location and updates
Local forecasts without unnecessary friction.
Location-based forecasts
Weather uses your allowed location to request local forecast data from Open-Meteo. If you do not grant location access, the app can still focus on the forecast information you choose to view.
Offline cache
Recent weather data is cached locally for limited-connectivity use, but cached information can be stale. Refresh before weather-sensitive decisions and follow official local warnings.
Battery-aware refresh behavior
Automatic updates are designed to respect network and battery constraints, while manual refresh stays available when you want the latest forecast on demand.
