您在使用计算机时多久查看一次天气预报？为什么要打开网络浏览器并搜索Accuweather或MSN Weather之类的网站？如果您使用以下最佳天气小部件，您可以直接在任务栏或Windows(Windows)桌面 上查看天气预报。
请记住，“小部件”会根据您使用的Windows版本而有所不同。小部件在Windows 8(Windows 8)之后消失了，但随后在Windows 10中作为“兴趣”返回。这些又是Windows 11中的“小部件” 。
使用兴趣(Interests)或小部件(Widgets)，信息可从Windows 10 任务栏(Windows 10 taskbar)获得，并将扩展以提供更多天气信息。
如何在Windows上添加(Windows)任务栏天气小部件(Taskbar Weather Widgets)
当涉及到任务栏（Windows 10兴趣或 Windows 11 小部件）时，您受限于Microsoft提供的信息源。如果您更喜欢安装Windows 10天气桌面小工具，则可以跳到下一部分。
1. 在Windows 10上，选择任务栏的兴趣(Interest)部分以打开Windows 10兴趣窗口。选择齿轮(Gear)图标并选择管理兴趣(Manage interests)。
注意(Note)：在Windows 11上，选择任务栏上的小部件(Widget)图标，然后选择添加小部件(Add widgets)按钮。
2. 这将打开Microsoft 兴趣(Microsoft Interests)搜索页面。在搜索字段中，输入Weather。这将显示所有可用的天气兴趣。如果您愿意，您还可以搜索任何类型的RSS 提要(RSS feeds)、新闻和兴趣。新闻(News)小部件也很受欢迎。
3.向下滚动(Scroll)列表并选择您要添加的兴趣。当您选择它们时，您会看到加号图标变为蓝色复选标记。
注意(Note)：在Windows 11上，您可以在选择添加小部件(Add widgets)之前在上一个窗口中搜索天气(Weather)小部件。选择(Select)您要添加的每个小部件，您会看到蓝色复选标记出现在这些小部件的右侧。
4. 如果您向下滚动Microsoft 兴趣(Microsoft Interests)搜索页面，您将看到您在Followed Sources部分中选择的所有兴趣(Interests)，右侧有一个蓝色复选标记。
现在，每当您选择任务栏的兴趣(Interests)部分（或Windows 11上的(Windows 11)Microsoft Windows小部件图标）时，您都会看到一个弹出窗口，显示来自您已启用的所有小部件或兴趣的信息。
即使该窗口关闭，Windows也会以Windows任务栏中的一小行文本的形式将天气状况显示为任务栏小部件(weather conditions as a taskbar widget)。
现在，您无需任何操作即可快速浏览当地天气和天气预报。
用于天气的 Windows 桌面小工具
如果您更喜欢在Windows桌面而不是任务栏上显示天气预报，以下桌面天气小工具是最受欢迎的。
注意(Note)：从涵盖此主题的其他站点下载桌面天气应用程序时要非常小心。其中许多应用程序都很旧，并且链接已被恶意软件取代。以下所有应用程序都是适用于桌面小工具的最佳 Windows 应用程序，并且在列入列表之前已经过我们的测试和清除。
这个应用程序是免费提供的，不仅包括桌面天气小部件。事实上，它包括一个完整的小部件列表，如CPU 利用率(CPU utilization)、应用程序启动器、日历、剪贴板等等。如果您不想安装所有这些，请通过此应用程序。安装后，您可以选择要包含在桌面上的那些。
如果您只对天气感兴趣，您可以在安装后保留此应用。它包括启动时桌面上的时钟和天气。如果您确实想使用任何其他桌面小工具，请右键单击该应用程序并选择添加小工具(Add gadgets)。
此应用程序可在Microsoft Store中获得。您需要先登录您的Microsoft帐户，然后才能下载该应用程序。添加后，您将可以即时访问天气、世界时钟、CPU监视器以及在桌面上提供更多内容的扩展程序。
与大多数其他桌面天气应用程序相比，此应用程序还具有更多自定义选项。因此，如果您喜欢多样性，那么这将是适合您的桌面天气小部件。
安装并启动它后，只需从中心窗格中选择Weather，选择颜色和透明度设置，然后选择Launch Widget。
在它起作用之前，您需要选择齿轮图标并设置您想要查看天气的位置设置。
选择确定(Ok)，桌面天气小部件将按照您的配置开始工作。
3. 动态壁纸(3. Lively Wallpaper)
此Windows应用程序主要用于创建动画实时仪表板体验。幸运的是，有一张名为Ripples的壁纸包含当地天气。
不幸的是，设置此壁纸并不像其他应用程序那样简单。您需要使用OpenWeatherApp注册一个免费帐户并获取API密钥。然后自定义壁纸并粘贴API以及您想要查看天气的位置。
如果您查看浏览器的时间比查看桌面的时间多，那么 Accuweather 的名为Weather Forecast的(Weather Forecast)Chrome扩展程序更适合您。
首次安装扩展程序时，您可以选择设置默认位置。每当您打开新标签时，都会显示该位置的当前温度和预报。如果要更改位置或添加其他位置，只需选择位置并更改或添加它们。如果您使用Edge浏览器或Bing作为默认搜索页面，则不需要此插件，因为该页面已显示您当地的天气。
Accuweather还提供适用于Android和 iPhone 或 iPad 设备的应用程序。如果您更喜欢Apple设备上的动态壁纸，您可以在 macOS 上创建自己的动态壁纸(create your own dynamic wallpapers on macOS)。
Best Weather Widgets for Windows 10/11
How often do you check the weather forеcast while yоu’re using your computer? Why bother with opening the web browser and searching sіtes like Accυweather or MSN Wеather? Іf you use the following best weather widgets, you can see the weather forecast dirеctly on your taskbar or Windows desktop.
Keep in mind that “widgets” are different depending on which version of Windows you’re using. Widgets disappeared after Windows 8 but then returned as “Interests” in Windows 10. These are once again “widgets” in Windows 11.
With either Interests or Widgets, the information is available from the Windows 10 taskbar and will expand to provide more information with weather information.
How to Add Taskbar Weather Widgets on Windows
When it comes to the taskbar (Windows 10 Interests or Windows 11 Widgets) you’re limited to the information sources provided by Microsoft. If you prefer installing Windows 10 weather desktop gadgets instead, then you can skip to the next section.
1. On Windows 10, select the Interest section of the taskbar to open the Windows 10 interests window. Select the Gear icon and select Manage interests.
Note: On Windows 11, select the Widget icon on the taskbar and select the Add widgets button.
2. This will open the Microsoft Interests search page. In the search field, type Weather. This will display all of the available weather interests. You can also search for RSS feeds, news and interests of any type if you prefer. News widgets are very popular as well.
3. Scroll down the list and select the Interests you want to add. As you select them you’ll see the plus icon change to a blue checkmark.
Note: On Windows 11, you can search for Weather widgets in the previous window before you select Add widgets. Select each widget you want to add and you’ll see the blue checkmark appear to the right of those.
4. If you scroll down the Microsoft Interests search page, you’ll see all of the Interests you selected in the Followed Sources section with a blue checkmark on the right.
Now, whenever you select the Interests section of the taskbar (or the Microsoft Windows widgets icon on Windows 11), you’ll see a pop-up window displaying information from all of the widgets or interests you’ve enabled.
Even with that window closed, Windows will display the weather conditions as a taskbar widget in the form of a small line of text in your Windows taskbar.
Now you can see your local weather and the weather forecast with a quick glance without having to do anything at all.
Windows Desktop Gadgets for Weather
If you prefer having the weather forecast displayed on the Windows desktop instead of the taskbar, the following desktop weather gadgets are some of the most popular ones.
Note: Be very careful about downloading desktop weather apps from other sites that cover this topic. Many of those apps are old and links have been replaced by malware. All apps below are the best Windows apps for desktop gadgets and have been tested and cleared by us before including in the list.
This app is available for free and includes more than just a desktop weather widget. In fact, it includes a whole list of widgets like CPU utilization, an app launcher, calendar, clipboarder and more. If you don’t want all of those installed, then pass by this app. You can pick and choose which ones to include on your desktop after installation.
If you’re only interested in the weather, you can leave this app as-is after installation. It includes the clock and weather on the desktop upon launch. If you do want to use any of the other desktop gadgets, right-click on the app and select Add gadgets.
This app is available in the Microsoft Store. You will need to log into your Microsoft account before you can download the app. Once you add it, you’ll get instant access to the weather, world clocks, a CPU monitor, and extensions that provide for even more content on your desktop.
This app also has more customization options than most other desktop weather apps. So if you like variety, then this will be the right desktop weather widget for you.
Once you install and launch it just select Weather from the center pane, select color and transparency settings, and then select Launch Widget.
Before it’ll work, you’ll need to select the gear icon and set the location setting where you’d like to see the weather.
Select Ok and the desktop weather widget will start working as you’ve configured it.
This Windows app is primarily for creating an animated live dashboard experience. Luckily, there is one wallpaper called Ripples that includes local weather.
Unfortunately, setting up this wallpaper isn’t as straightforward as other apps. You’ll need to sign up for a free account with OpenWeatherApp and get an API key. Then customize the wallpaper and paste the API as well as the location you’d like to see the weather for.
If you spend more time looking at your browser than you do your desktop, then Accuweather’s Chrome extension called Weather Forecast is better for you.
When you first install the extension, you’ll have the option to set up the default location. The current temperature and forecast for that location will display any time you open a new tab. If you want to change the location or add other locations, just select the location and change or add them. If you use the Edge browser or Bing as your default search page, you won’t need this add-on since that page already displays your local weather.
Accuweather also has apps available for Android and iPhone or iPad devices. If you prefer live wallpapers on Apple devices, you can create your own dynamic wallpapers on macOS.
