“I noticed something strange in the iOS weather app”

I’ve noticed that the weather app on my iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS all show differing forecasts with all 3 devices within 18” of each other. AQI is just one of the parts of the forecast that I just don’t pay attention too. Around here in the summer, it is always an alert saying don’t go outside

I’m giving up on Apple Weather (despite recently saying it was fine).

I got burned this past weekend when painting my deck. Forecast was absolutely clear in the window I needed to paint/dry. Just after I started, forecast changed to nearly 100% rain this wasn’t a case of “oh maybe the chance of rain was wrong”. No, it went from 0 to having a hundred of mile wide storm pass through. The type of storm that doesn’t just pop up.

It’s insane how they killed dark sky.

The past week has been super weird. My local weather station kept predicting rain every day and it barely rained at all. This week, once again, they say thunderstorms every day. We'll see how it goes.

By killing Dark Sky and their own weather app and pushing me to an annual CARROT Weather subscription, they made themselves a profit of 30% of the CARROT Weather subscription -_-
