Need to check the weather? Before you start tapping your way through the weather app, ask Siri for some help and save yourself some time!
People love to chit chat about the weather, and Siri is no different! Next time you need the latest forecast or the current temperature, ask Siri to give you a hand. With it, you can find out the weather or sunrise/sunset information at home, or anywhere around the world!

How to get current weather conditions with Siri for iPhone and iPad
Sometimes you just want quick weather information without having to dig through folders. So instead, of navigating through the app, just ask Siri about the weather!
- Press and hold the Home button on your iPhone or iPad to activate Siri.
- Say something like "What's the weather going to be like today?"
Siri will present you with a complete forecast for the remainder of the day.
When asking Siri for weather information for the day, you'll be shown an average high and low temperature for the day followed by a detailed hourly breakdown for conditions. For example, if it's already 3pm, Siri will show an hourly breakdown for the remainder of the day.
How to get a weekly weather forecast with Siri for iPhone and iPad
- Press and hold the Home button on your iPhone or iPad to activate Siri.
- Say something like "What's the weekly weather forecast?" or "What's the weather going to be like for the rest of the week?"
Siri will then present you with a weekly forecast of what you can expect in your area.
By default Siri gives you information for your current location. However, if you're planning to travel and want information for the location you're traveling to, Siri can help you with that as well. Simply append the area you'd like to your request. For example, say something like "What's the weekly weather forecast for San Francisco?" and Siri will give you the forecast for the requested location instead of the location you're currently at.
How to check sunset and sunrise times with Siri for iPhone and iPad
- Press and hold the Home button on your iPhone or iPad to launch Siri.
- Say something like "What time is sunset tonight?" or "What time is sunset tonight in Los Angeles?" You can also say "What time was sunrise this morning?"
Siri will then present you with the information you requested.
It's worth nothing that Siri can't currently give you information on future sunrises at this time, only past ones. So if you need information for future sunrises, you'll still need to use a weather app for that. At least for now anyways.
Not a fan of Siri? We won't tell it! It's easy enough to use the weather app on your iPhone and iPad without Siri.
