Why widgets matter for the forecast

Most people check weather multiple times per day. A home screen widget saves time because you can scan the temperature and condition without opening the app.

Choose the right widget size

The best iPhone weather widget size depends on your layout:

  • Small: perfect for quick temperature checks.
  • Medium: the sweet spot for temperature and condition details.
  • Large: best if you want more context or a bigger scene.

Design a glanceable layout

Keep the widget near the top of your home screen and pair it with a single habit, like checking it before commuting or planning the day.

Tip

Pair a medium weather widget with your calendar so your day and forecast sit side by side.

Why IsoWeather widgets look alive

IsoWeather widgets surface WeatherKit conditions with an AI-generated scene that matches the current atmosphere. It is a more intuitive way to read the forecast at a glance.

How to add the IsoWeather widget

Press and hold your home screen, tap the plus button, search for IsoWeather, and choose your widget size. Pick your preferred city and you are set.
