Just add London or some other city where it rains all the time to check the weather 😂

We desperately need the rain here in California....

I expected nothing less from Apple after all the meteo apps they bought in the past few years (notably Dark Sky)
i was hoping that this redesign would bring iPad native app. One can hope!

iPadOS's split from iOS seems to have been there to bring features to iPads a year or years after iPhone (e.g. widgets on home, Translation app from iOS14 -> iPadOS15)
Illinois, too. We were recently bumped into the “severe” drought category. We were supposed to get some rain/storms today but so far nothing. I used to live in California. As someone who loves a good thunderstorm, California summers were beyond boring! Feeling that same boredom this year 😒

I am just scared of another thunderstorm causing wildfires and this: https://venturebeat.com/2020/09/10/why-san-francisco-had-an-apocalyptic-orange-sky/
Just simple rain would be heavenly, thanks.

I installed it on my iPhone 6s and I can see the weather animations. At least for sunny and cloudy. I could not find a place where it rains right now
edit: ok I found a place with rain. It does not work on the iPhone 6s. There is a rain animation but it just keeps on falling behind the boxes
For sure! I still have family living out in Contra Costa county and I was a pretty surprised last summer when I heard from them and they said they were having thunderstorms! Wasn’t long after that when they said lightning sparked a fire just outside of town.

Maybe it's not present in the Beta 1 yet...

I still have to watch this in its entirety...but that is one feature I actually always loved on iPhone, the weather. (Also the Maps) I saw briefly the Maps overhaul, loving the 3D.
It is the small little detailed improvements I personally like.

The new Weather app is the thing I look forward to in iOS15. Like DarkSky but Apple hasn't done anything with it in forever.

While I use another weather app, I also have a shortcut to darksky.net on a Home Screen - which still works and appears to be a more accurate representation of micro weather / forecast than Apple's current effort.

You need XS or better to view.
attention to detail? maybe you mean visual candies? the attention to detail in design is long lost, if you yourself can see it, different sizes of text, positioned in different places, there are articles about this from UI designers.
in this case for it to make sense the water should also drip from the bottom of that window and so on
but what is especially a bad UX decision in that app is no visual representation of differentiation of that top window being horizontally scrollable

The fact that you can see just half of the last "hour" at the far right is more than enough cue that you can scroll further...

It is sad to see how on one side they can do this and on another the “legendary detailers” are caught napping when we still don’t have ringtones sync between devices so calls coming on Mac have the same ringtone as they do on iPhone (even as an option).
