In case of weather, users will receive hourly updates about weather forecasts, meteorological data about precipitation and “perceived temperature”. Apart from that, in Notes, there is a new OxygenOS UI. It has also optimised the process of sharing Notes as an image. OnePlus Switch which helps in transferring from one phone to another, has received UI optimisation updates.

Since this is update is a part of a beta program, you need to be a part of Open Beta program, first. In order to do so, your device has to be formatted, basically, all the data and cache has to be wiped out and the phone has to be updated from stable to open beta. Once you are a part of it you will receive beta updates OTA.
