Original Abstract Submitted

reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. in some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. in some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. in some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.
