NOT if you set it up to update
Go to Settings/Lock screen/ Lock screen options/Weather/Auto refresh :victory:

Maybe it changed recently, but now it is:
Settings>security>Lock Screen Options>Weather (on off)...
:laugh:

If you're referring to the lockscreen when in a dock, you need to click the menu button when the lockscreen is displayed. It will open up a listing with Settings as a choice. That's where you turn AccuWeather on or off.

Yes I have the weather turned on but it will not auto update or show the current city if I go to a different location. It will update if i turn the setting for the weather off and then on again or reboot but it will not change on its own like the apps do

Ok i just saw that the weather settings are there. I did not know to click on the weather on/off selection to see the refresh options. I wish it refreshed more frequently than one hour to reflect if I change my location

[Q] Turning off the weather live screen sound?

Any way to turn off the weather live screen sound when you open your home screen?
I love the weather live screen, but I really could do with out the sound.
How about accessing the settings screen, maybe ?
If you want to keep the live weather but don't want the sound then you click on the weather icon on the clock. Within the weather app hit menu and the option is in there. If you want to turn off live weather completely then you have to delete and re install the clock widget. Upon re-installing it , a prompt will ask if you want animated weather. Just un check the box.
Thank you so much Jr!!!

[Q] Google Now Weather on Lollipop Lockscreen

Has anyone figured out how to get the Google current weather to show up as a notification on the Lollipop lockscreen? I would like to see it there on top all the time.

In google now options activate weather for your location. Then on lock screen pull down as if expanding notifications and it should pop up.
Good luck.
In Google Now, "Interested in weather updates for your location?" is set to Yes. On the lockscreen, there is nothing to pull down. The clock and date are in the center of the lockscreen and when I swip down, they just pulsate once.

Sorry bare with me. I managed to get it there but once swiped away it disappeared. Think it must have just been a notification thing. Sorry. I use beautiful widgets from play store for mine. I know its not what your after but its an alternative.
I just got it once here also. I tapped on it and it opened Google Now. Now it is gone from the lockscreen again. I guess once it is there...you can't tap it. I used Beautiful Widgets before and also DashClock but the weather was different with those since they don't use the same provider as Google Now. It was a notification that I had since Lollipop doesn't support lockscreen widgets that I know of.
How are you keeping the Beautiful Widgets on your lockscreen? Is it a notification?
Google now weather
I have also experienced the disappearing Google Now 'current weather' notification in lockscreen on both my nexus 5 devices. It showed up on the lockscreen one time after pulling down on the time but after unlocking my screen and relocking the device i have never been able to replicate the weather notification
The notification has come back on mine. If you swipe it away or reboot your phone, it seems to come back sometime within the next hour or so.
I use 1weather it's good for me

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, are you referring to magazine unlock where everytime the screen turns on it shows a different wallpaper?

Events & Ambient Display

So I have a daily recurring event set up to remind me to do something every day. In the morning when the notification pops up I always just dismiss it. What's weird is that on the ambient display, the event still shows until the event time has passed (8am). It shows even after I've dismissed the reminder. I have no idea why this is happening. Any thoughts?
I noticed this last night. I believe you can long press on the Date/Weather widget > preferences > uncheck the option(s). I just changed mine this morning so I can't confirm but I think that'll change it.
i'm not sure which widget you're referring to. i don't have any on my home screen.

It's the default date and weather widget on the default pixel launcher at the top of the home screen.

Correct, guessing you can access the setting somewhere else but that is the only place I am familiar with.
You can get to that sub menu from the main launcher settings too. And if you're using a 3rd party launcher, you'd have to temporarily change your launcher back to stock pixel launcher to get to those settings

No, using One UI.
Yes I am giving the same issues. The widget gone missing from cover screen. Sometime also missing or disappeared from main screen.

I realized the cause of the issue.
If one adjusts the Font size in the Display settings, widgets disappear. Looks like a bug.
So, the solution for me was to adjust the Font size for once and don't adjust the same often.
I have the same issue. But the widgets vanished from the cover screen after a reboot of the Fold.

So, it could be a bug. Somebody needs to bring it to the attention of the relevant Samsung team.
My widgets are not disappearing, as long as i don't change the Font size in the display settings.
I'm having similar issue. If I try to add widget to ext. Home screen (at the bottom) when the screen turns off/on or when I open phone, the ext. Widget disappears - and reappears on the interior home screen (duplicate).
Although I don't think messing with font sizes will change the outcome

This is a bug. When you restart the phone and sometimes when you mess with the font size, widgets disappear.
