It definitely does not have the same functionality, you can only see the current temp/precip prob %/humidity/dewpoint/wind speed/etc, you can’t see the forecasted stats I listed in the iOS weather app, you can only get hour by hour temperature.

I’m very disappointed that Dark Sky is going away. If Apple added in the ability to see forecasted hour by hour wind speed/humidity/dew point/etc, it’d be a decent replacement.

In iOS 16 (and in macOS Ventura, which adds the Weather app), you can view hourly temperature, UV index, wind speed, precipitation, feels like, humidity, visibility, and pressure, on a graph. You can also tap and hold to view individual hourly data. You should see if the updated experience works for you!

Oh, that’s great news! Glad to hear that Apple included that in the iOS 16 version, I haven’t upgraded yet. Thanks for the info!

What about the "time machine" feature in Dark Sky? I really like being able to look in the past/future arbitrarily.

I really hope this add this in to the default app. I use it constantly!

100% to this. Apple weather has a lot of the functionality but it’s not close when it comes to the experience. For wet climates like the PNW this is a hard change.

That is great, because hourly dew point is so important to knowing how comfortable it will be.

Now we just need a lightening tracker in iOS weather…

If Apple can give me an allergen outlook similar to Accuweather I’ll finally be able to swap. This update was quite nice, but the allergy watch has helped me proactively respond to seasonal allergies which is hard to pass up on. A more granular detail of air quality would be nice as well, but I don’t need it to switch

In iOS 16 it’s greatly improved. You can now get the predicted hourly temperature, UV index, wind, rainfall, feels like temperature, humidity, visibility, and atmospheric pressure.

Most of the functionality is coming in iOS 16: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/08/ios-16-weather-app-upda...

I get migraines triggered by the weather and I can’t find another app with barometric pressure forecasts and history.

I wrote an app called Migraine Weather that was specifically for that. I ended up selling it and it’s now called WeatherX. I no longer have any connection to the app, but I do continue to use it myself.

Thanks for the heads-up, this looks good. I will try it out.

This has changed completely in iOS 16
