Instead of just knowing that there is a 50% chance of rain this hour, you’ll see that it’s going to start raining in 15 minutes.
This information has been invaluable for beach trips, soccer games, etc. Whether it’s rain starting in 13 minutes, or a snowstorm this weekend, we’ll give you the detailed information you need. It’s best known for down to the minute forecasts.ĭark Sky uses state-of-the-art technology to predict when it will rain or snow, down to the minute, at your exact location: we deliver hyperlocal forecasts, not just for your city or state, but right where you’re standing. Dark Sky has always been one of my favorites, though. In fact, many of the other apps I’ll be discussing use their API to populate their information. Dark Skyĭark Sky’s data is the gold standard of weather data as far as I’m concerned. One advantage it does have is that it’s accessible via Siri, but you can still use a third-party app and leverage Siri when needed. It gets its data from The Weather Channel, so it’s certainly accurate, but I am surprised about common features it lacks. It lacks a live radar and precipitation chance for anything but the current day. Apple’s Weather AppĪpple’s built-in app is nice to look at, but it needs an overhaul concerning features. If your experiences are different from mine, that is probably the reason. One thing that you need to realize is that individual weather apps work better in individual countries and even in specific regions in a country. In my time using an iPhone, I’ve used a lot of weather apps. They know the history of the area, how mountains and valleys might impact storms, etc. I’ll add that local weather experts still have a place in our society as well. While that is not inherently bad, it’s not as convenient.
Before smartphones, we had to rely on local news stations to gather the information. From knowing if your pool time is going to be cut short to deciding if you should wear shorts or pants, the weather dominates our life. Knowing up to date weather information is one of the reasons to own a smartphone.
