The forecast is always for one place, named at the top of the Forecast tab. This guide shows you how to change it.

From the Forecast tab

  1. Tap the button in the top right corner of the Forecast tab.
  2. Choose the place in one of three ways:
    • type a name in Search location and tap a result β€” a place or one of your saved spots;
    • tap the map;
    • tap the arrow button to use your current position.
  3. Tap Use this location.

From a saved spot

Open the spot on the map and tap Forecast. The arrow in the top left corner of the forecast brings you back to the spot.

From any point of the map

Touch and hold the point on the map, then tap Forecast in the sheet: Drop a pin on any point

The first time

If the app may use your location, the first forecast is for where you are. If not, you see "Choose a forecast location" β€” tap Choose location and pick a place.

Good to know

  • The forecast does not follow you. "Your location" is the place where you were when it was set. After you travel, choose your current position again.
  • The app remembers the chosen place the next time you open it.
  • Choosing a place for the forecast saves nothing on the map. To keep a place, save it as a spot.
  • All times in the forecast are the local time of the chosen place.
  • Places close to each other (within about a kilometre) share the same weather.

If it does not work

"Location is off for this app" when you tap the arrow button β€” the app has no access to your location: Location does not work
