I can’t quite put a finger on what the colored slider bars are on the new weather app 10 day forecast. I want to say it has something to do with temperature, air quality, or UV index but I don’t know which one and I’m dying to know! Thanks in advance!

It’s comparative to the temperature range for that 10-day forecast.
Note that the coldest temperature amongst the 10 days has the slider touching the left; the hottest day to the right.
So the slider just shows that particular day’s range comparative to other days.
Hop that makes a little more sense?
Still not sure what the lines mean after reading so many responses plus they take up so much space. Has Apple explained them? Why am I spending any seconds of my life on this?
Tommyo53, your answer is superb!!! Now that I understand it, I really like it!
Good for Apple to create it, bad for Apple not to provide a link to it's explanation
Thanks for solving this puzzle guys. But this shouldn't be a puzzle, Apple.
Indeed!
Did Apple really think the casual user could understand all of that by just looking at the bars??
Worst design ever.
I have to say the weather app in the previous OS system was brilliant, simple, clear, accurate. Now it’s a mess, like many things, it’s been over engineered.
So true, poor design
Thanks that’s the best answer here!
It’s not very helpful to have to scroll for the low morning temp and the daytime high temp. This information should be the first thing you see at the top.
That makes absolutely sense. Thank you so much for this markup as it explains very understandable and much more than all the explanations I read so far.
This is confusing and needs attention so it is clear in the app without having to google to find an answer and then still being confused
turn it sideways. It is a floating column chart showing the range of temp for that day compared to other 10 days
What do the bars mean on the new iPhone Weather app?
