Windows 11’s pre-installed weather app will soon get a new update with some notable changes. These updates have been highlighted by @ChangeWindows on X (formerly Twitter), and a summary of the changes can be found below.

• The two existing ad blocks on the home page of the weather app are still there.
• The homepage top bar now has a Fluent-like design with rounded buttons and more.
• Previously, the home page title bar had the option to switch between light and dark themes. Now, you can change the theme from the temperature unit selector popup and then from the button present in the title bar. Currently, it doesn’t work as we expect, but Microsoft may fix it in upcoming updates.
• The new home page navigation control will have links to different sections of the page allowing you to jump between sections easily without having to scroll up and down.
• There is a new light theme that looks pleasing to the eyes. Take a look at it below.

• The “View Monthly Planner” button has been replaced with “View Monthly”, and will now simply scroll down on the same page instead of opening a separate monthly overview page.
• The “Weather Insights” section is now replaced by the “Weather Details” section, which will now display cloud cover, wind, AQI, visibility, dew point temperature, moon phase, and more.
• The newly redesigned home page has the new Weather Maps section with a new set of controls; Take a look at it below.

• Scrolling down, the new monthly section on the new home page introduces two new ad blocks.
• The last section on the home page is the Weather Trends section, which displays historical weather data for a location.
• Apart from the home page, the Weather app remains the same as before.

This weather update is currently rolling out, so it may not be available to everyone yet. If you’ve already received it, we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

You can download the The MSN Weather app from the Microsoft Store.
