iOS 14 adds a slew of new features such as widget support on the home screen
and Siri enhancements. The update also brings enhancements to the Weather
app, including a variety of new data points and much more.
As a quick refresher,
<https://9to5mac.com/2020/03/31/apple-purchases-hyperlocal-weather-app-dark-
sky-killing-android-apps/> Apple acquired the hyperlocal weather app Dark
Sky back in March. Presumably, this is what's powering the new features in
the iOS 14 stock Weather app - which is a remarkably quick turnaround time
if this is the case.
Apple says that the iOS 14 Weather app includes support for severe weather
events, as well as a new next-hour precipitation chart. This chart will show
minute-by-minute precipitation when rain is in the forecast for your area,
Apple says. These features will also be accessible through the new Weather
app widget on the iOS 14 home screen:
The Weather app and widget keep users up to date on severe weather events
and a new next-hour precipitation chart shows minute-by-minute precipitation
when rain is in the forecast.
These sort of hyperlocal features were the tentpole of Dark Sky, and even
though the Dark Sky app is still available in the App Store for now, Apple
seems focused on bringing many of the features into the stock Weather app.
What still appears to be missing, however, is support for things like a
radar view.
