iPad widget on home screen?

I'd like to put the weather widget icon on the home screen. It's there by default on my iPhone, but I haven't found any way to do it on the iPad. Thank you.

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 12.1

The Weather App, on your iPhone, is an App. This is why you can see it on your home screen.


By contrast, for your iPad, the Weather widget is just that - a Widget. On iPad, there isn’t a corresponding Weather App - and you can’t install a widget on your home screen.


The iPad and iPhone, in this respect, are different.
