The Weather app shows the current weather, an hourly forecast for the next 24 hours, and a forecast for the days ahead on your BUSY Bar. Choose your location and temperature units, and what else is shown.

The app needs an internet connection, so make sure your BUSY Bar is [connected to Wi-Fi](https://docs.busy.app/bar/basics/connect-wifi).

On this page, you’ll learn how to run the Weather app on your BUSY Bar, switch between forecast screens, and configure your preferences.
