By default, you never see the weather forecast on the lock screen of your iPhone, but this can be set. iPhoned shows you how to wake up with the weather forecast on your screen.
Set weather forecast on lock screen
To check the weather in the morning, you will have to lock your iPhone. You can place the weather in a widget, or you open the app to see the current forecast and temperature of your location. But how useful would it be if you could check that without having to unlock your phone?
Apple has addressed Do Not Disturb mode in iOS 12, allowing more possibilities with the feature. You can also quickly set it for an hour or until you leave your current location. The extension of Do Not Disturb also ensures that you can set the automatic weather forecast at set times with a small detour.

For example, when you wake up, your lock screen will already have today’s weather forecast ready. This saves you the trouble of opening the Weather app or going to your Weather widget. You can set the automatic weather report as follows.
Activate the automatic weather report in 6 steps
- Open Settings and go to the ‘Do not disturb’ menu;
- Here, set the switches to green behind ‘Do not disturb’, behind ‘Scheduled’ and then also behind ‘Bedtime’;
- After this, a from-to-time will appear, set this to when you want the Bedtime function to be enabled;
- Then go back to the home screen of the Settings app and open the ‘Privacy’ menu;
- Here, tap on ‘Location Services’ and scroll to ‘Weather’;
- Open ‘Weather’ and make sure ‘Always’ is selected.
If you don’t normally use the Do Not Disturb mode and Bedtime option, it can be useful to make some additional settings. This way you can make sure that you don’t miss any important calls despite Do Not Disturb.
If you’d rather get the weather summary at a different time than in the morning, just change the scheduled times in the Do Not Disturb menu. Unfortunately, it is not possible to set multiple moments for this.
