Most of the furniture in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be interacted with in some way, whether just turning an appliance on or playing an instrument for fun. Some pieces of furniture are more useful than others, though — and the TV is one of the most useful because it can help you check the weather.
At key times turning the day, televisions across your island will report the weather either for that day or the next day. This gives you an opportunity to plan and prepare for some rainy weather fishing by getting some bait crafted, or it will just give you an idea of what’s to come.
Some New Horizons players may not find being able to check the weather useful, but I’ve found it to be a helpful aid for deciding when to bother stocking up on fish bait and planning play events for my little sister. You may have your uses for it, too!

Hopefully, this knowledge helps you with your Animal Crossing life planning, as it’s helped me. I’ve got a TV set up in my house as well as in an open neighborhood cafe for easy viewing, since I’m forgetful.
