What Do the Colored Bars in the Weather App Mean?
You might also wonder whether the colored bars in the 10-day forecast section indicate temperature, humidity, or air quality. The Weather app has a 10-day forecast feature, which displays the forecast for the day ahead plus the next nine days. Each forecast will have a colored bar. The colored bars show the temperature range for those days. To learn more about the Weather app and other iPhone apps, check out our free Tip of the Day newsletter.
In the illustration above, you can see that the coldest day has the bar positioned to the left, and the hottest day has the bar positioned to the right. The colors represent the following temperature ranges:
* Dark Blue: Very Cold (less than 32°F)

On the forecast for today, the colored bar also has a white dot. The white dot symbolizes the current temperature.
