The Weather app on the iPhone supports the addition of several cities to help you plan trips or keep up with the current weather in multiple cities. You can update settings related to your pre-configured locations, view a forecast and see information about your currently selected city using the Weather app. Using the Notification Center, you can see a basic summary for your default location when you select the "Today" tab. The summary includes the date, current weather conditions and a forecast for the rest of the day.

Tap the "Weather" app and select the Settings icon, displayed as three horizontal bars in the lower right corner of the screen.

Step 2

Set the temperature format by selecting the "C/F" option to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Step 3

Tap the "+" button and type the name of a city, ZIP code or airport location to add a tile for the local weather. For example, type "LAX" for Los Angeles, California.
