CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/470,875 titled “METHODS AND USER INTERFACES FOR MANAGING WEATHER INFORMATION”, filed Jun. 3, 2023, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for managing weather information. BACKGROUND User interfaces containing weather information can be displayed using computer systems. BRIEF SUMMARY Some techniques for managing weather information using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices. Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing weather information. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing weather information. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges. Example methods are described herein. An example method includes, at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices: while displaying, via the display generation component, a weather interface that includes a first weather dataset for a first time period, receiving an input via the one or more input devices; and in response to receiving the input while displaying the weather interface that includes the first weather dataset for the first time period, updating the weather interface, including: in accordance with a determination that the input is a first type of input, updating the weather interface to include the first weather dataset for a second time period that is different from the first time period; and in accordance with a determination that the input is a second type of input different from the first type of input, updating the weather interface to include a second weather dataset for the first time period, wherein the second weather dataset is different from the first weather dataset. Example non-transitory computer-readable storage media are described herein. An example non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, the one or more programs including instructions for: while displaying, via the display generation component, a weather interface that includes a first weather dataset for a first time period, receiving an input via the one or more input devices; and in response to receiving the input while displaying the weather interface that includes the first weather dataset for the first time period, updating the weather interface, including: in accordance with a determination that the input is a first type of input, updating the weather interface to include the first weather dataset for a second time period that is different from the first time period; and in accordance with a determination that the input is a second type of input different from the first type of input, updating the weather interface to include a second weather dataset for the first time period, wherein the second weather dataset is different from the first weather dataset. Example transitory computer-readable storage media are described herein. An example transitory computer-readable storage medium stores one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices, the one or more programs including instructions for: while displaying, via the display generation component, a weather interface that includes a first weather dataset for a first time period, receiving an input via the one or more input devices; and in response to receiving the input while displaying the weather interface that includes the first weather dataset for the first time period, updating the weather interface, including: in accordance with a determination that the input is a first type of input, updating the weather interface to include the first weather dataset for a second time period that is different from the first time period; and in accordance with a determination that the input is a second type of input different from the first type of input, updating the weather interface to include a second weather dataset for the firs
