Go to Settings/Siri & Search and turn on either “Hey Siri”, “Siri”, or both. Then say “Hey Siri, what’s tomorrow’s weather” or whatever else you want to know. If the request requires personal information: “Siri, call my husband” you will have to unlock the phone, but anything that is just a general information request can be answered even with the iPhone locked.
