To invoke Siri without touching the phone, first go to Settings>Apple Intelligence & Siri>Talk & Type to Siri and make sure that you have either "Siri" or "Hey Siri" or "Hey Siri" selected. Then, all you need to do is say, "Hey, Siri, what's the weather for tomorrow?" and Siri will answer.


Also, double check that Settings>Apple Intelligence & Siri>Siri Responses is set to either Automatic or Prefer Spoken Responses.
