Check Your Weather Forecast

You can use the Weather app to view your city’s current conditions and five-day forecast.

The Weather app takes advantage of Microsoft’s Bing Weather service, which uses several online weather resources to obtain up-to-the minute conditions and forecasts. The Weather app includes a feature that uses Windows 8 location services to determine your location and display the forecast for your city. If you would prefer to see the forecast for some other city, see the following section, “Check Another City’s Weather Forecast.”
