How can I get Weather widget on Lock Screen? I have been trying add weather updates directly on my lock screen on Android. I heard there’s some widget thing you can use but I’m not sure how to set it up or even where to find it. Is it something I need to download or is it already there on my phone?

I don't think you can get widgets on the usual Android lockscreen anymore. What I used to do was make the weather app have a persistent notification, and have that notification showing on the lockscreen.

This app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather when I had it installed has an option to make the weather notification permanent (persistent).
This app seems to have been sold since I last installed it.

Not sure if it's what you are looking for but I know there is a stock clock style that includes a very barebones weather report. Though, I wasn't able to get it to work consistently. This was on a pixel 7.

Sorry but i didn't get what you are trying to say here

Let me rephrase. There are several clock styles included in android. One of which includes a very simple weather readout as part of the clock layout. I couldn't manage to get it to work correctly myself but I'd chalk that up to having my location services off.
