Hello mjake101,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We want to help clear this up. The circle should indicate the current temperate within the range.
The amount of the circle should decrease as the night gets colder indicating it's getting to the lowest point for the day. Tapping the widget should give you more information.
We hope this helps to get even more from your iPhone when checking the weather.
Cheers!

Hello mjake101,
We see you are asking about an icon or indicator with a widget on your Lock Screen. We have some questions to make sure we are on the same page with what you are referring to. Then we'll post what we believe you are looking at.
If you are referring to The Weather Channel widget, that would be a temperature range graph. It would indicate the lowest temperature to the highest temperature for the day. So it will show where the temperature at the moment is for the entire range of the day. Reply back with additional details or questions.
Take care.
Thank you for your reply Soosie_J215. Yes I am referring to the weather channel widget. At this local time 4:17pm at the bottom of the circle is a cloud, I assume representing the current sky condition with the temp in the center. The circle framing the temp is a bit more than 3/4 around in white and the rest of the circle is grayed, up to the cloud icon on the bottom. I press the widget and I read the temperature range under the current temp is 42° and Day is 43° - Night is 36°. So from that partial circle am I supposed to know that it's a 7° range and that it's from a low of 36°? I hope that helps indicate the nature of my little query. Thanks again and am looking forward to your response.

So the partial circle indicates at what part of the total temperature range the present temperature stands in relation to the complete temperature range, if I understand correctly. Thanks.
I think I get it now. The present temp. is at what portion of the total range for that day. Thanks.
Thanks I think I get it now. The circle indicates what proportion of the total temperature range the temperature is at now. Thanks again for your helpful response.
Hello mjake101,
You are welcome! Enjoy the rest of your day.
Take care.
