Weather app in Windows 11 and 10 is about to rain on your parade with adverts

That includes suggestions for your day based on the predicted weather, like taking an umbrella with you if a downpour is expected later on, for example. The hourly forecast has also been moved and is now present in the left-hand sidebar for more convenient access.

So, that’s all relatively good – although we’re not sure how useful suggestions will be in all honesty – but now we come to the bad bit. Microsoft, in its not-so-infinite wisdom, has decided to clutter up the Weather app with MSN News and adverts. Yes, really. Oh, and the air quality indicator has been banished in another not-so-great tweak .The new Weather app is seemingly rolling out now, so if you haven’t already got it, the updated version will be coming to you soon. However, it’s very disappointing to see more advertising coming to Windows 11 , blighting one of the core apps for Microsoft’s desktop OS.

There’s an ad top-right of the main home page, and the MSN News feed – news from the Microsoft Network, which is not known for its high-quality content, shall we say – comes into view when you scroll down. At least the news is solely weather-related topics, so it makes sense in context to a point, but it’s very much likely to be stories you don’t want to hear about.

If we’re looking at the Weather app, we just want the weather, Microsoft, and as accurate a forecast as possible. Not a bunch of doubtless largely irrelevant news stories and worse still an ad staring us in the face in a central part of the interface.
