Weather.com app

I’m using the default weather.com app which shows me the current weather and 5 days forecast. Since 2 days I can only see an hourly forecast for the current day but the overview for the next day is gone. What happened there?

Does anyone know how I can get the 5 days weather overview back like I had it before?

Thanks,
Tom

I have my Suunto 7 since 5 days and I’m absolutely happy with it.

@Tom-Wehrle - welcome to the suunto 7 and welcome to the new weather app and tile.
old weather app included 5 day forecast with basic today details.
updated weather app provides current details plus a 9 hour forecast, with new graphics and weather warning.

It is always going to come down to personal preference:
I prefer the new graphics - looks much nicer.
I prefer the current and 9 hour forecast - when I use my watch I am looking for weather now and in next couple of hours - not really so worried about next couple of days.
Old weather update didn’t provide as much detail, was very basic.

If I need a longer weather forecast I pull out my phone and use the full weather app which provides 48 hour details (premium provides 4x the hours) and or can look at daily forecast (use Weather Channel - also provides health & activiites deatails around air pollution/ running/allergies/chill, skin, umbrella, UV and mosquito index.

There are alternative apps you can download and use on your watch like:
myRadar - really liked pasts of it, but does add around 5%-battery consumption per day as no way to set when it takes readings, and it does them too frequently for me.
Accuweather (used it for ages with android but then became unreliable).
you could also try some of these:

Thanks, I did not know that, may have to get rid of it. I wish the new graphics showed wind too.

@Brad_Olwin I agree with @Jamie-BG , I was really liking myRadar but the impact on battery life was simply too much for me to accept (felt like considerably more than 5% to me as it knocked hours off the life of my S7).

I also really like the new Google Weather interface. It took me a few days to get used to the new icons, but now I find it so much easier and quicker to get a quick update on what the weather will be doing in the near future.
If I want more detail, or a longer forecast, out comes the phone and the MetOffice app

Thank you all for your great answers!

I’m also curious what will come to get a great experience of weather forecast

Thanks Tom

@olymay @Jamie-BG Ok, you both convinced me, MyRadar is gone!

@Brad_Olwin - whatever works for you. If you like it keep it. Even if 10% per day, still enough juice to get workout, check weather and charge overnight or next day.

There is a WearOS app called Brilliant Weather Complication in PlayStore on the S7, which is able to show windspeed and direction.
