Updating weather information

Your phone can determine your current location and display your local time and weather conditions on the weather clock.

If the weather clock does not show the most recent weather conditions or does not show any weather information for some reason (such as when the auto download option is disabled), tap the weather image or the “My Location” text to go to the Weather tab and then tap Update Now. The most recent weather information of your location will then show on both the Weather tab and the Home tab’s weather clock.

For more information about viewing weather information, see “Weather” later in this chapter.
