If u have the weather info as a layer (as rest service) u can use it on the map with map.addLayer() function.

Faryal, there is no prebuilt widget that I know of to do this. You will need to create or locate a weather service to bring into your application. Just doing a quick google search brings up a couple of things that may help you.

Public Information Map

This is an ArcGIS Online map that contains a radar service, NOAA weather alerts, and it looks like an accuweather service.

This is the webmap that powers the above application. The layers in the map may be of particular use to you.

Hi Faryal,

Do you got any solution or rest service to get current weather details based on lat,long. I am also in the same boat.

Thanks,
