Does the Weather app have a menu bar option in macOS Ventura?

[SW3029]

Does anyone know if the Weather app has a menu bar option in macOS Ventura?

 

[owidhh]

the rest are standard window/file/edit/preferences options. And one greyed out "Add location" in the File menu.

If you mean a menubar option on the right side of the screen, similar to battery percentage, Wi-Fi, etc., then there does not appear to be one in Ventura. Maybe next year.

forecast bar is a great app, been using it for years (& it runs fine in ventura). lots of customization options, too. love it

Great find! Thanks for sharing.

Sort of, you can put weather widgets in the notifications panel.

edit: Also OP, I just realized that your'e listed as macrumours 6502, and I am macroumours 6502a.

I have no clue what this means, but I thought it was neat.

Thanks for letting me know, although thats far less exciting than I hoped.

I want to be macrumors M1.

As for the weather app, I mostly can't wait for iPadOS to catch up. I have no idea why the same widget on the iPhone opens the app and on iPad sends me to a website. Anyway, those forecastbar screenshots above show again how Apple could have done things. (And/or how it will Sherlock them within a year…)

I use this free app: https://weatherbarapp.com

I am completely satisfied with it, but I don't have any great demands. Current temperature and the approximate outlook for the next two days are quite enough for me.

Weather for Status Bar

If Apple Weather app has dynamic dock icon showing current temperature and condition (like Calendar) it will be great for me. I don't need menu item.

That would be pretty sweet!

So you can't place the Weather widget on the Desktop running Ventura like you can on iPadOS?

This is a great idea as there used to be lots of such apps in the past. Even Windows now allows the weather app to show in the Microsoft Dock.

If it's possible I don't know how.

I was excited too at first until I realised that I was on a free trial and now I am asked to pay for a subscription.
I'm tired of having to pay for OS functionality and features that come out of the box on Windows, I have already paid good money to Apple, I was wrong to think that macOS is feature forward.

that's ridiculous. both OSes have features the other doesn't have; this is simply one of those features.

it's not a reflection on the quality of mac OS. anyway, this is my only mac subscription app; it's not expensive, and worth it (to me).

If you have a Setapp subscription, Forecast Bar is there.

I pay for 2 weather subscriptions now, Forecast Bar and Wunderground. Since they've drastically upgraded the Apple weather app I'm considering dropping at least one of those. They are both great though!!

 

[gvmelbrty]

Although I like Forecast Bar a lot, my subscription is almost up, so I thought I'd try out this free menu bar weather app I found on the App Store: "Weather Forecast App: Menu Bar" ..

It's basic, but not too bad overall (I emailed the developer with a few suggestions). I believe it's tapping into Apple's weather kit, so it's basically a menu bar display for the Apple weather app. ... I just wish one of these menu bar apps would offer Weather Underground support so I could display my personal weather station info in the menu bar. .. -[edit]- I found a menu bar app that connects to Underground's personal wx station network: UnderTheWX

FYI: I hear Forecast Bar will be releasing a totally new version of their app soon.. which is good, because I have found a few bugs using it.

Yes, a few bugs. Glad to hear of the coming new version. Hope they don't raise the price for the iOS app.

I use the Weather add-on subscription in iStat Menus. Offers multiple sources of data and customizable.

As far as I can tell, there is no iOS/watchOS version.

FYI iStat Menus was updated per below and now includes Apple Weather as an option.
