Currently Apple offers the following complications for Weather:

AQI
Rain
UV Index
Weather
Weather Conditions
Wind

I would like to see them offer more. I subscribe to the Carrot weather app and they offer more options. I’d like to see Apple include:

Feels like temp
Humidity
Dew Point
Wind chill
Cloud cover

From what I can tell the Weather Channel has all this data so I think Apple should be able to tap into it for watch complications. I’d also like to see the weather conditions complication mirror the weather widget. With the weather widget when rain is coming (and I assume the same would apply for snow) the widget switches from an hourly forecast to to an intensity forecast (I’m guessing this is Dark Sky integration). Also at a certain time at night it switches from hourly to 7 day forecast and then switches back to hourly in the morning. If they can do this with widgets couldn’t they also do it with watch complications?

There are third-party apps that might do lots of what you want to do.

I recently discovered Weathergraph ...brilliant. It has a unique and clever rendering that shows so much in a single glance!

Carrot Weather can show “feels like temp, dew point, pressure, cloud cover, wind, UV and humidity”
I know. I’m currently using Carrot. Not sure if they offer those options without a subscription to the app though.

I had to pay about $5-10 / year to get a humidity complication with Carrot. Worth it to me.

So it looks like there’s a new face with Carrot integration? If so sweet. Hope it doesn’t require a Carrot subscription.

Humidity.

After 5.5 years, how is Humidity NOT a standard feature? I shouldn't have to purchase a 3rd party app (that I still have to go into, rather than have on my home screen) or pay for a subscription service to get HUMIDITY as an option.

If you have to toggle between things, I get it. Where live, air quality is questionable at best, and the UV is always high. I don't care about that. I do, however, want to know if I'm about to step outside into soup.

Editing to add: the data is there when I complete a workout, so it's not like it's not pulling the data - from the same Weather channel app/service that they pull the weather information from. Go figure.

This should be standard.
