How to add a Weather widget to your macOS menu bar

The latest macOS 15.2 update brought a familiar feature for old Mac users: once again, a Weather widget can be added to the macOS menu bar. Instead of having to return to the Desktop to check the weather in a widget, Apple offers a built-in solution to always see the weather.

Here's how you can add the Weather widget to the macOS menu bar.

• 2018 MacBook Pro and later

With the new Weather tab added, you can check the weather in your current location and your favorite places and even open the Weather app. Apple also shows possible warnings for severe weather.

Besides that, macOS 15.2 added a few new Apple Intelligence features, such as:

• Image Playground: Users can create playful images in seconds, choosing from Animation or Illustration. This app is built right into apps like Messages and is also available in a dedicated app;
• ChatGPT integration: When you feel Apple Intelligence isn’t enough, you can allow ChatGPT to access Writing Tools and other features for a better response;
• Create Images expansion: Another Apple Intelligence feature available with macOS 15.2 is the ability to create an image when you highlight text in the Notes app.
