Before detonation a uranium-235 core is about ambient temperature and a plutonium-239 core is warmer than human body temperature. At detonation either type of core is at several million degrees, completely vapor, and radiating black body radiation peaking in the X-Rays. A moment later it has heated the air around it hot enough so that it is opaque to the entire electromagnetic spectrum. As this air cools it again becomes transparent to the black body radiation peaking in the X-Rays.

In the case of a hydrogen bomb, the temperature rises to several tens of millions of degrees.

How is an atomic bomb an example of weak nuclear force?

An atomic bomb is an example of the weak nuclear force because it involves the transformation of neutrons into protons and vice versa within the atomic nucleus, a process mediated by the weak nuclear force.
