If the Good Morning Screen is still not enabled, you should create a custom schedule from the Do Not Disturb settings in the Settings App.

Modify the Weather app settings
iPhone makes use of Apple’s native Weather App to display the current weather and temperature conditions on the Good Morning screen.
So, if the Good Morning Screen does not display the weather report or if the weather seems inaccurate, there must be some issue with Apple’s weather app.
Launch the Weather App on your iPhone and see if it is working fine. If the app is not installed, you can download and install it from the App Store.
Sometimes, the reason why the weather app is showing inaccurate reports is that it cannot access your location. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Now switch on the toggle next to the Weather app to allow the app to access the Weather conditions.

If you feel that Apple’s Weather App is not working as expected on the Good Morning Screen, you can always download the Weather Channel App.
After installing the app from the App Store, launch the App. Now check if it is displaying the weather conditions of your current location. If not, allow the Weather Channel App to access the location from the Privacy Settings.
