There are no new AI features in the iOS 27 Weather app, but Apple did make improvements to the layout. It's now easier to see at-a-glance information for weather conditions.
Highlights
The top of the Weather app now has a Highlights section that shows you need-to-know weather information for the day.
Conditions
There are new views for the Conditions section of the main Weather app interface. In addition to viewing temperature and current condition on an hourly basis, you can toggle over to a precipitation or wind view.
Precipitation shows you an hour-by-hour chance of rain forecast, while wind displays a breakdown of wind speed.
10-Day View
The 10-day view also changes when you swap between the different condition options so you can see precipitation and wind overviews for the next 10 days without having to tap into a more detailed view.
Widgets
There's a new extra large size available for Home Screen widgets, which is applicable to the Weather app. You can set the Weather app to take up an entire app page.
Apple will release iOS 27 in September, and despite the company's focus this year on refining its flagship operating system and nixing bugs, there are still many additional features on the way, not least of which is Apple's new context-aware Siri, re-tooled for the generative AI era.
This year's major iPhone software update isn't all about AI, though, as the following feature list...
If you pay for certain iCloud+ storage plans beyond the 5GB that Apple offers for free, you will receive two more perks on iOS 27 at no additional cost.

I’m frustrated by the direction of the weather app in recent years. Yes, they’ve added a lot more features and data, but it’s just not as good as it used to be as a basic weather app. Everything tiny sized, grey-on-grey design lacking contrast and making everything hard to read (see screenshot above).
On WatchOS it’s even worse. I really wish we could go back to the Weather app from WatchOS 9 or so when you could see conditions throughout the day (not just the current temperature) at a glance. Now you have to scroll through pages and pages of similar-looking data which is all quite difficult and slow to interpret. Sometimes it’s hard to even figure out what screen you’re looking at. Is this wind, humidity, UV??! By adding more data and features, they made the basic functionality worse!
