Weather mini 3.5 is now available.
This update is mainly about two new Apple Watch complications.
Weather on the wrist is usually about small questions, answered quickly. What is the weather doing later today? What does the week ahead look like? Weather mini 3.5 adds a new complication for each of those moments.
Two New Forecast Complications
Weather mini 3.5 adds two new complications:
- 5 Day Forecast
- 5 Hour Forecast
The 5 Hour Forecast is the more immediate one. It is for the part of the day that is still close enough to change what you do next. If you are about to head out, deciding whether to bring an umbrella, or just wanting a quick sense of how the weather is shifting this afternoon, this is the more natural fit.
The 5 Day Forecast is the wider view. It makes Apple Watch more useful for a quick multi-day check, without asking you to open the app and step through a fuller forecast screen. That is the better complication when you are thinking less about the next hour and more about the shape of the week.
The point of adding both is simple: forecast on a watch face should not mean only one time scale. The next few hours and the next few days are different kinds of questions, and both are worth answering well on Apple Watch.
Small Improvements Around Them
Weather mini 3.5 also improves Apple Watch forecast widgets and Smart Stack relevance, along with watch settings, time labels, and overall reliability.
Those changes matter, but the center of this release is still the new complications. The goal is to make Apple Watch a better place to understand upcoming weather at a glance, whether you are looking a few hours ahead or a few days ahead.
