Is there a better weather widget where I can see the 5 day forecast on my desktop at all times? I don't like the Weather widget on the taskbar because it's tied to the News widgets that you can't remove and clogs up all the viewing space.

You should go ahead and check Rainmeter.
It's free and there are quite a few weather skins available.
You can even write your own using notepad.

Hello, Elevenmax.

I can only offer an article you may wish to have a look at...

Weather widgets for Windows 11


For what it's worth, I used 'WeatherBug' at one time, and liked it. But... that was on Win 10 OS.

Best of luck. ;)

Me? I just look out the window. It seems to be more accurate. :-)

Seriously, I just have weather.com and accuweather, bookmarked.
Put in your zip code, and you get local weather.

TIP: The less junk you have running on your computer... the faster it runs. :-)
