• Install the app and follow its setup instructions to receive weather notifications.

Ensure that the app supports Wear OS notifications to receive timely updates. (androidcentral.com)

5. Set Up Automated Weather Notifications

For more advanced weather notifications, consider using automation services:

• Using IFTTT:

This method provides customized weather alerts based on your preferences. (ifttt.com)
