Having issues with Apple's Weather app? You're not alone.
following an outage yesterday – and it's just one of many reasons why I'm still missing the app that it swallowed up, Dark Sky., who are reporting"weather unavailable" warnings, we've also had problems with the Weather app's widget showing"no weather data". Apple is aware of the issues, saying"some users are affected", but this follows some similar problems yesterday.
Just over three years ago, Apple bought Dark Sky, an app that forced its way onto many people's home screens thanks to its ability to combine an algorithmic analysis of the speed of clouds and storms with your precise location. In short, this hyper-local forecasting could save you from many a soaking. And it really worked!
But Apple's Weather app has swallowed all of that up into something that's more bloated and, currently, pretty buggy. You can find hourly rain predictions, but they're buried in a sub-menu in the Today view the graph is tougher to read than Dark Sky's simple breakdown.
