How to Get Weather Forecast (iCAL) on Mac and iPhone Calendar for One Week

The weather forecast on your calendar helps you to plan your business or work schedule for the coming week. Mac is not offering any built in feature to display the weather on Mac Calendar or iOS Calendar.

For iPhone and iPad users, there are dedicated apps that can forecast weather for one or two weeks. However, there is no dedicated feature to get the weather forecast on Mac Calendar.
