Apple has unleashed new beta software on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, with many cool features centered around Apple Intelligence. While AI will undoubtedly be the focus for most people jumping into the developer beta of macOS Sequoia 15.2, a new option to add the weather in your current location to the menu bar of the Mac.
The new widget consists of a small weather icon and the temperature displayed next to the time, Wi-Fi status, and battery icons. Clicking on the widget shows you the weather for the next few hours where your Mac is located. If you’re curious, you can also use the widget to see temperatures in other parts of the world.The pop-out widget also features a link to the weather app.
As always, the features could change regarding developer betas, so the weather widget’s presence in this version doesn’t mean it’ll make its way to the final release. Still, the fact that Apple is even working on such a widget is exciting.
If you try the 15.2 beta, you can enable the weather widget by going to System Settings and Control Center.Opening up the Mac’s Settings app, going to Control Center, and scrolling down to the “Menu Bar Only” section. Weather joins other options that include Clock, Spotlight, Siri, and Time Machine.
The macOS Sequoia 15.2 beta is limited to developers at the current time, but Apple may release a public beta in the not too distant future. macOS Sequoia 15.2 will be released in early December.
