The Mac weather app has a very good overview of the weather in your area.  It does this by using your Mac’s location and displaying the current weather conditions.

How to get the weather app:

• Go to Finder > Applications > Weather.
• That’s it. 

If this is the first time you’re using it, it’ll ask for your permission to use your location to get the weather.

Did you know that you can also see weather from other areas around the world?

Here’s how:

• At the upper-right corner of the window is a search bar.
• Click in that search bar.
• Type the name of the city you wish to view.
• A drop-down window will appear with possible names for that city.
• Select the city, and then the weather will appear.
• To save the city for future reference, click ADD.
• The city will be saved on the left side of the window.
• That’s it. 

These tips will also work with the iOS version of the app as well.
