Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to managing weather information. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing weather information are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for displaying daily weather information are described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system configured to communicate with a display generation component, the computer system comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a weather user interface that corresponds to a first cumulative period of time that includes a plurality of sub-periods of time, wherein the weather user interface includes:
a first user interface object that corresponds to a first sub-period of time of the plurality of sub-periods of time, wherein the first user interface object includes:
a first cumulative time period indicator that represents a range of a weather value over the first cumulative period of time; and
a first sub-period indicator that represents a range of the weather value for the first sub-period of time; and

a second user interface object that corresponds to a second sub-period of time of the plurality of sub-periods of time and that is different than the first sub-period of time, wherein the second user interface object includes:
a second cumulative time period indicator that represents the range of the weather value over the first cumulative period of time, wherein the second cumulative time period indicator is distinct from the first cumulative time period indicator; and
a second sub-period indicator that represents a range of the weather value for the second sub-period of time, wherein the second sub-period indicator is distinct from the first sub-period indicator.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the weather value is selected from the group consisting of:
temperature, humidity, forecasted likelihood of precipitation, amount of precipitation, and a combination thereof.

3. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:
the weather user interface includes a plurality of sub-period indicators that includes the first sub-period indicator and the second sub-period indicator, wherein each sub-period indicator of the plurality of sub-period indicators corresponds to a respective sub-period of time of the plurality of sub-periods of time;
the plurality of sub-period indicators are displayed along a first axis of the weather user interface and, collectively, span a first range of the first axis that includes a first terminus and a second terminus, wherein the first terminus is opposite the second terminus along the first range of the first axis;
the range of the weather value for the first sub-period of time includes a minimum value for the weather value over the first cumulative period of time;
the range of the weather value for the second sub-period of time includes a maximum value for the weather value over the first cumulative period of time;
the first sub-period indicator includes a first sub-period indicator sub-element that represents the minimum value of the weather value for the first sub-period of time and that is displayed at the first terminus of the first range of the first axis; and
the second sub-period indicator includes a second sub-period indicator sub-element that represents the maximum value of the weather value for the first sub-period of time and that is displayed at the second terminus of the first range of the first axis.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-period indicator is displayed as an inset of the first cumulative time period indicator and occupies a first sub-portion of the first cumulative time period indicator without occupying a second sub-portion of the first cumulative time period indicator.

5. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:
the first sub-period indicator includes a first gradient of a visual characteristic, with values of the visual characteristic in the first gradient representing values of the weather value in the range of the weather value for the first sub-period of time;
the second sub-period indicator includes a second gradient of the visual characteristic, with values of the visual characteristic in the second gradient representing values of the weather value in the range of the weather value for the second sub-period of time; and
like values of the visual characteristic in the first gradient and like values of the visual characteristic in the second gradient represent the same value of the weather value.

6. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-period indicator has a first displayed width that is based on the range of the weather value for the first sub-period of time.

7. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first sub-period of time includes a current time period and the weather user interface further includes:
a current weather value indicator that represents the current value of weather value at the current time period.

8. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the weather user interface further includes:
in accordance with a determination that one or more weather conditions associated with a location satisfies a first set of weather condition criteria, displaying the first user interface object at a first location in the weather user interface; and
in accordance with a determination that the one or more weather conditions associated with the location satisfy a second set of weather condition criteria, displaying the first user interface object at a second location in the weather user interface.

9. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a second weather user interface that corresponds to a second cumulative period of time that includes a second plurality of sub-periods of time, wherein the second plurality of sub-periods of time includes the first sub-period of time that was included in the first cumulative period of time and includes a third sub-period of time that was not included in the first cumulative period of time, wherein the second weather user interface includes:
a third user interface object that corresponds to the first sub-period of time and that is different from the first user interface object, wherein the third user interface object includes:
a third cumulative time period indicator that represents a range of the weather value over the second cumulative period of time and that is distinct from the first cumulative time period indicator; and
a third sub-period indicator that represents a range of the weather value for the first sub-period of time; and

a fourth user interface object that corresponds to the third sub-period of time of the second plurality of sub-periods of time, wherein the fourth user interface object includes:
a fourth cumulative time period indicator that represents the range of the weather value over the second cumulative period of time; and
a fourth sub-period indicator that represents a range of the weather value for the third sub-period of time.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a weather user interface that corresponds to a first cumulative period of time that includes a plurality of sub-periods of time, wherein the weather user interface includes:
a first user interface object that corresponds to a first sub-period of time of the plurality of sub-periods of time, wherein the first user interface object includes:
a first cumulative time period indicator that represents a range of a weather value over the firs
