Ever wished you could check the weather without leaving your Mac screen? Apple's got something new in store for you! In the latest macOS beta, dubbed Sequoia 15. 2, Apple has introduced a handy weather widget right on the menu bar. This isn't just a cool feature; it's a practical one. No more switching tabs to a weather website or opening another app. Just a glance at the menu bar, and you're in the know.

This widget, first spotted by tech sleuths at 9to5Mac, shows the current temperature and a weather icon next to your time, Wi-Fi, and battery info. Click on it, and you get a mini forecast for the next few hours. Curious about the weather in another corner of the world? This widget can show you that, too. It even has a link to the full weather app if you're feeling extra curious.

Now, betas can be unpredictable. Features might change or disappear by the final release. But it's exciting that Apple is even considering this feature. It's a simple addition, but it offers a lot of convenience.

To enable this weather widget, head over to System Settings and Control Center. Scroll to Weather and click on "Show in the Menu Bar. " Easy-peasy! While you're at it, don't miss out on Playgrounds and ChatGPT integration—two other buzz-worthy AI features in this update.

What's the Forecast? Your Mac Knows!
