Cortana now showing weather info more frequently on the Live Tile

Since ane year ago, Cortana has been displaying weather information on the Alive Tile, including current conditions in number form and weather condition animations. However, back so Cortana would generally run this characteristic simply in the early morning time, as noted in our forums in 2022.

Nevertheless, starting over the weekend, Microsoft apparently has increased the frequency of this feature by the early morn. In fact, it at present appears to be the default condition tile for Cortana if you take the atmospheric condition interest enabled.

The feature is rather uncomplicated: on one side of the tile is an icon of the current weather, the other side are the current atmospheric condition, including location and temperature. Information technology is a squeamish nod to Cortana's otherwise static tile that just reveals new data if something is breaking. Then over again, we imagine some of you may find it redundant if you apply another weather app on your Start screen.

'You Be The Judge' in action

Another feature that is now working is You Be the Judge. As we mentioned over the weekend, Bing Predicts is now working with American Idol. If y'all happen to Bing search that topic, and you have 'You lot Exist the Judge' enabled nether Cortana's Interests, you may detect the screen above. It lets you pick whom you lot think will win the contest making Cortana more than interactive.

In the future, nosotros imagine such a tool will exist used for larger scale events similar the Oscars, Super Bowl, World Serial, and other matches with a large interest. Similar usual, it is clever and fun.

Belfiore Easter Egg

Finally, there is an Easter Egg that some of us did non know about inside Cortana. Patently, if you ask Cortana "Do you lot know Joe Belfiore?" she responds with "He'southward been talking to computers since they spoke BASIC. My kind of guy."

The within joke was spotted by Shouvik Roy on Twitter, later retweeted by Belfiore himself, completing the joke.
