iOS 27's Weather App Has a New Way to View Forecasts

If the forecast is more accurate, I'm ok...
It's been bad...

Not as bad as the predictive text and auto correct as of late. My God that frustrates me more than anything (including the wrong weather).

Someone should tell the UX designers about WCAG contrast requirements. 😉

I can't believe no one at Apple notices/checks that.
I am sorry for the people actually needing a strong contrast.
I saw that image and the first thing that I thought was that it is not readable at all.

One of Apple’s best acquisitions in years!

Apple Acquires Weather App Dark Sky

Apple has acquired weather app Dark Sky, Dark Sky's developers announced today. Dark Sky is one of the most popular weather apps on the App Store, known for its accuracy and storm warnings. Our goal has always been to provide the world with the best weather information possible, to help as many...

It is definitely starting to bear fruit.

I found out about this accidentally. Went to check the weather last night and the app had on its own selected precipitation instead of temperature.

I’d like how Apple denotes the weather icon for each day.

Often I’ll see a rain icon - I’m in the uk! - and then when you drill down to the data it might rain for an hour at 5am or 12pm etc. and else it’ll be fine.

But the icon looks like it’s going to be rainy conditions all day.

Very much agree.

Also, it often looks as if it will be cloudy for much of the day but, if we're lucky, what we get is lovely weather with a few small clouds fleeting past. There is a huge difference between thick and total cloud, with awful visibility, and just having a few interruptions to brilliant sun.

Siri should check for contrast within Apple development!

If apple could make estimated pricipitation the default instead of %... I don't really care if it there is 100% chance of 0.5 mm in an hour but 50% chance of 5-10 mm could be more important...

Sometimes it shows me rain showers....but I live in the desert!

I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and I totally agree with you on that

More accurate weather would be nice. Accuweather app is more accurate. Apple Weather is mostly wrong.

In the winter Weather Undergound will tell me a few inches of snow, while Apple Weather incorrectly predicts 2 feet of snowpocalypse.

You should see what it does in Tahoe! Complete failure most of the time.

At least they’re improving it. I like Accuweather, WeatherUnderground, I like some of the style and microclimate of UndercastWeather, I was really hoping Darksky would move Apple Weather forward a little more.

Always thought that dark sky, the app they bought a few years ago to improve Weather was much better than the iOS version. It predicted rain down to the minutes accurately . The radar was better also.
