I got a text saying that I have 4 viruses detected

I received a text on my iPhone 11 from a number # 1-***-****-**21 saying that 4 viruses were detected and that I need to clear and secure immediately. I noticed that my weather app is showing wrong temperatures. Is this message from Apple or a scam?

All such messages are scams from criminals. Do not interact with the message or the sender.
