How to Display Weather in Outlook Calendar on Windows 11

Outlook Calendar on Windows 11 displays weather information, showing you current conditions and forecasts directly in your schedule.

This handy feature uses live weather data to let you quickly see the temperature and forecast for any location you add. It’s great for planning your day or travel.

This tutorial specifically covers the new Outlook for Windows application, which comes with Windows 11. Older versions like Outlook 2019 and 2016 also offer this weather view, but their menus might look a little different.

Why add weather to your calendar?

Adding weather in Outlook Calendar helps you plan daily events by showing live temperatures and forecasts directly next to your scheduled appointments. This feature lets you check outdoor conditions at a glance so you can decide what to wear or adjust your plans before heading out, saving you time throughout your busy week.

Step 1Enable Weather in Calendar

1. Open Outlook on your computer.
2. Click the Settings (gear) icon at the top right.
3. Select Calendar from the left sidebar.
4. Scroll down to the Weather section.
5. Flip the switch to On to display weather on your calendar.

Step 2Set the Weather Location

Setting your weather location in Outlook Calendar requires opening your Calendar settings, scrolling down to the weather section, and entering your city name. Once you save your location, local forecasts appear automatically in your calendar view to help you track daily conditions for your area without needing a separate app.

Admin Rights Needed: If your work computer is managed by your organization, you may need to ask your IT administrator for help enabling location permissions. You can usually find these settings in Windows at C:\Windows\System32\Settings.

Troubleshooting: Weather Bar Missing

If the weather bar is missing, make sure your Outlook is updated to the latest version. Navigate to 'File,' then 'Office Account,' and select 'Update Options.' If the weather bar is still missing, check your privacy settings to ensure apps are allowed to access your location.

Third-Party Calendar Subscriptions

You can also add weather via external calendar subscriptions. Use a web address (URL) in iCal format from a weather provider. In Outlook, go to Add Calendar › Subscribe from web and paste the URL. This lets you see weather as actual calendar events, not just a separate bar.

Summary

With this setup, your schedule and local forecast appear side-by-side, making daily planning much simpler. You have now learned how to display weather in Outlook calendar, troubleshoot missing bars, and manage multiple locations.
