Depending on where you live, if you're the type of person who spend most of the day away from home, having some understanding of the weather to expect throughout the day is very useful for not experiencing the weather too much.
Very useful to know if it's likely to rain or be windy, and the highs and lows. I might be leaving at noon when it's comfortable and warm outside, but I might be coming home needing a thick jacket and an umbrella. If I'm already outside experiencing the sudden rainstorm and my umbrella is at home, it doesn't really matter that it wasn't raining when I left home many hours ago.
Yes, but you need this information once, maybe twice a day, instead all smart devices tend to present it to you constantly.
I have a pixel device, and by default I have the weather on both lock screen and home screen. Every morning I receive a notification with the expected weather for the day, and it keeps suggesting me to enable the weather preview right after the morning alarm.
Garmin smartwatch? Same
Android car / Apple car? Same
MacOS has the weather as one of the most prominent widgets available, and I believe windows to be the same.
Do I really need to have weather info constantly available to me?
