iPhone: The Missing Manual

Weather

This little widget shows a handy current-conditions display for your city (or any other city), and, at your option, even offers a six-day forecast.

Before you get started, the most important step is to click the button at the lower-right corner. The widget flips around.

On the back panel, you can delete the sample city (Cupertino, California, which is Apple's headquarters) by tapping and then Delete. And you can add your own city, or cities of interest, by tapping . The Add Location screen and keyboard appear, so you can type your city and state or zip code.

Tip

This Weather widget is world-friendly. You can type the name of any reasonably-sized city on earth to find out its weather. Remember to check before you travel.

When you tap Search, you're shown a list of matching cities; tap the one whose weather you want to track.

When you return to the configuration screen, you can also specify whether you prefer degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Click Done.

Now the front of the widget ...
