Question for apple watch Voiceover Users: If I want to have the weather as a complication on my watch face, can I just have it tell me the temperature, and not all the conditions for the next few hours? I have my face configured just the way I like it, but instead of telling me what temperature there is in my city, it says, "Local temperature..." and it tells me the current temperature. Then, I have to flick past the temperature reports for the next few hours before I can go to the other complications on my watch face. I looked in the weather choices, but all I saw was conditions, wind, rain, and UV indes. Is there a setting I need to change where it just shows me the current temperature? That's what my watch used to do, but it's changed to this setup lately. I admit I'm not an apple watch expert, as I only use it for practical functions and not for everyday use.
Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions. Hope everyone is having an awesome day!

@desertstar84 it has been a while since I used the regular weather complication, but I think there is a more option that when you click on it allows you to find temperature only. But it has been a while, so it might have changed.

@kernsac I'm using the Watch App on my IPhone, and I just checked the weather options, and there isn't a more options choice, sadly. I just noticed that there is an update, and I will try my hardest to finish it through. I just feel that these updates are a bit restrictive, as I can't have my phone too far away, and the updates take forever to install. That's part of the reason I don't always use my watch. I love it, but sometimes I just don't have time to maintain it. I know I can do better. Thanks for the suggestions, though. :)

@desertstar84 interesting, because I used the Watch app on my phone and went to the Weather complication and double tapped on it and started flicking right, and found more as an option. I wonder if it depends on what kind of face you are using and where the complication is on the face? I was checking the top middle complication, I think it is, on my info graph face.

@kernsac I think it actually depends on the face. I'm using the modular, but this face used to just tell me the current temperature in the city I'm in. Someone must have made a change to this face. I really don't want to redo an entire new face just for weather alone, so I'll just work with it until I find a solution. My watch is also a series 5, and the complications are listed with headings on my app, then the different things for that complication are under the headings to select. There is nothing there that says More. There's just conditions, wind, rain, and UV Index. Hopefully the update can fix it. :)

@desertstar84 That's weird. My weather widget is now also reading more than just the temperature. I wonder if this is part of an Apple watch software update. My watch just updated its software a few days ago.

@SingingNala Hmm, and when you look in the complications, are you seeing only the four options I'm seeing? All I have for weather are wind, rain, conditions and UV Index. There is no more option, but I don't have the latest update. I'm trying to update to the latest right now, but knowing you've just updated, I must admit that's a bit discouraging for me. My watch never was like this before, and I've been using this face since I got it back in 2020.

@desertstar84 The only conclusion I can draw after poking around in the settings for the weather complication is that they've changed how the temperature complication option reads. I have six options for weather. One is temperature. I re-selected temperature, and mine is still reading current temperature, the high, the low, and the humidity. I guess I'm just getting used to silencing it when I only want the temperature. I too have been using this complication for a long time. I first got an Apple watch in 2016. Meow. :(
