Once it’s in the list, you can just press it to show the weather for that location.
Q- How do I set my “Home” location?
A- You can set your favourite location in the locations menu and set that as the default starting location for the app. Hit the arrow next to your current location at the top of most pages. Then look for the “Set as Home” button next to each saved location.
