Potential next steps: Testing and questions

Before transitioning to my next trainee placement, I prepared a set of potential questions for future testing. These questions could help us to get user feedback and help the team to understand if our audience like it and the team can continue evaluating and refining the component based on user preferences.
Questions:

Is it necessary to have an accompanying time stamp and multiple locations within the weather component?
Questions:

Does people think the weather information provided in the detailed view is enough for them within our News app? 
Questions:

Option1 & 2 - which one does people prefer?
Can people understand that they can interact with the weather component?
