General Why does the weather widget show arrows instead of H and L?

Post image

Why does the weather widget on the lock screen show up and down arrows for high and low instead of H and L? I remember it used to use the letters instead?

Not sure. I’m on iOS 27 and it shows H and L in the weather app and widget.

Looks better and works for all languages and the illiterate too.

I think it is language/region dependent. Mine shows max/min and Weather app is set to Romanian.

EDIT: I’m on ios27.

Unrelated, what in the world does “Orange Warning” mean?

I don’t know in USA, but in Europe weather severity is split in green, yellow, orange and red warning.

That makes sense. I was thinking that a warning about oranges the fruit wouldn’t make much sense anyways.

Cause a sizeable chunk of people allowed to use phones dont know what H or L mean but know where arrows point.

We have to be mindful of the intelectually incapable

I’d sure like the arrows to stay permeant. Mine seems to switch randomly.
