I would wager to guess more people care about the temperature than the condition.
The equivalent would be if the date was shown by default and the time were hidden.

It accurately portrays the condition... Just like how the date/time indicator accurately portrays the time, but the date is hidden away in the menu. A single click and you can find out the more in-depth information as needed.

Do you think for the weather indicator, icon-only can "convey the information accurately"? I don't.

It could show the sunny icon on both a day where it is 30F or 90F, so icon-only in that case isn't very accurate at all.
