Apple has released Developer Beta 2 of macOS Sequoia 15.2, adding a new menu bar feature. You can now add weather to your Mac’s Menu Bar. Apple does not mention this new feature when you launch the weather app, making it impossible to discover on your own. Let’s change that and see how to show the weather widget in the Mac Menu Bar.

Add weather to Mac’s Menu Bar

1 Use the  Menu to launch the System Settings app on your Mac.

The weather widget shows current weather conditions for your primary location, including low and high temperatures for the day, along with a forecast for the next five days.

If you have added multiple locations in the Weather app, you will also see weather conditions for your secondary locations in a list below the forecast.

Add multiple locations in the Weather app

If you want to keep track of the weather in multiple locations, you can add them to the Weather app.

1. Launch the Weather app and click the search field in the top-right corner.
