I am currently running a Windows 10 Pro desktop machine (21H1, build 19043.1288) and cannot get the Weather app to display detailed status info on the lock screen. I have configured the appropriate settings in Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen as follows:
I have set the default location in the Weather app's settings to my current location. The Weather app has no problem displaying the correct weather details when I launch it once logged in.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Are there any other settings I can check? I also find it suspicious that most apps in the lock screen list have grey icons, almost like they are disabled. Could this be a hint at some problem?

I believe this option no longer works following one of the latest updates of Windows 10.
It is apparently easy to do in Windows 11. See
How To Make Weather Appear On Lock Screen In Windows 11 [Tutorial]
Right click anywhere on the TASKBAR (not in windows logo)
Select 'News and Interests' and select 'Show icon and text'
Enjoy.
