It should, but there are a limited number of data pulls from the weather services without a subscription... not sure how that will impact the refresh frequency.
I wouldn't know how to do that .... Thank you for answering !

Playing around with a different setup. All the icons are setup through the Shortcuts app. The gold icons are bookmarks for the apps, while the silver icons are bookmarks for actual shortcut functions. I like the aesthetics of this setup, but functionally speaking it definitely has its disadvantages.
I hate the widgets all over the place so I keep them only to the Today View page. All of the apps are in the App Library and I only have Apple’s default apps in my two-page Home Screen.
Could you share your wallpaper for your homescreen? I really like the black boxes behind the apps.
Yeah, I love the fact shortcut icons/bookmarks can be placed on the homescreen with no text underneath, and I tried this as a method to replicate the missing Favourites widget. However, the fact these bookmarks open (and leave open) the Shortcuts app is annoying. So I've reverted to using the Shortcuts widget which wastes much more space, doesn't look as clean, but at least just runs the shortcurt directly.
Not mine, found it on reddit
Man, this new Home Screen customisation has been one major time suck the entire weekend. 
Here’s the current one I am experimenting with.
One homescreen consisting of two stacks of small widgets and 2 rows of Siri suggestions. Let’s see if iOS is smart enough to surface the relevant apps to me.
Swipe left to widget view. Top row is a bunch of productivity widgets (scanner pro, shortcuts, maps, ETA, Walletry, Apollo).
Below is my consumption (Apple Music, podcasts). May add TV+ in time. Waiting for overcast to update. Too bad News+ isn’t supported in my country, though funnily enough, I can access the news widget.
Swipe right for App Library.
Everything else, hidden.
I am basically embracing iOS 14 entirety.

Aside from all the responses given to your comment; and aside from the notion that some people just like a classic analog clock, I thought I would add:
It would be awesome if Apple would open that analog clock up to some of the gorgeous Apple Watch faces (analog or otherwise) one can use. THAT would be sweet!

Yes, the opening of the Shortcuts app before going to the linked app is annoying, as is the lack of icon badges. This is why I probably won't be keeping this setup for too long.
Found it, but the beta is full.
TestFlight - Apple
Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps.
Nice! How did you get the calendar to use that font and the battery icon placed there?
Also, how can you have many thousand unread e-mails and messages?! 😅

Yeah. The top widget is “Color Widgets” on the App Store. Bottom right is “Ermine”.Nice! How did you get the calendar to use that font and the battery icon placed there?

As for the thousands of unread emails and messages... no comment 🤪.
I think that's one of the reasons Apple kind of resisted adding it all for so long to keep things hassle-free.Man, this new Home Screen customisation has been one major time suck the entire weekend.
I'm tempted to really play around with it all more than before, but I'm not sure I want to spend the time experimenting and then tweaking/perfecting things for my own wants as opposed to mostly just keeping things as I had them for a while.
