The native widget cannot be removed. If you want a weather app without a widget then you need to use MeeCast.

I don't have the native weather app installed, but I still get a notification widget on the lock screen suggesting that I install the weather app.

of course it can be removed, take no notice of the naysayers, of which there are plenty here on TJC and while they are busy saying "you can't do that" others are simply getting on with it.

Admittedly, there is no GUI in Settings or Sailfish Weather for removing/hiding the widget, but with some very simple editing of one specific file, the widget can be removed/hidden, assuming you still want to keep Sailfish Weather app.

IF you are happy to use terminal to create the magic, leave a comment and i'll give steps to do so, or wait for coderus, who likely has a far more elegant approach.

@Edz - everything can be done if you're brave enough. ;) I wanted to point out the lack of features and poor options in the GUI, especially regarding the new weather widget. I also don't like the fact that when an issue is raised the autoreply is "But wait! There's this awesome thing called terminal!"

"Lockscreen Analog Clock" from Patchmanager's (v2 or v3) web-catalog allows for switching off the weather widget on the lockscreen (among many other customisations to it) on any SailfishOS device.

I just discovered that there is a web catalog in patchmanager. Thank you for the hint.

If you are on an Xperia, install patchmanager 2.0 and the patch Xperia Clock via storeman.

Xperia Clock offers the look of Sony's lockscreen clock with the option of weather display.
