Does iOS do the freaky-accurate “light rain starting in five minutes, ending twenty minutes later” thing? If so, I’d love to know where, I’ve missed it.

- lathiat 4y agoI get that from the "Rain Parrot" app.
- Alex3917 4y agoNo, but it's currently in beta in the API, so possibly it will come in the future: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi/nexthourforecast https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi/...
- dylan604 4y agoi'm not running any betas, and i have this feature. i don't remember if it was the latest iOS or the one prior though
- NobodyNada 4y agoYes. If there’s rain forecasted for the next hour, it’s displayed prominently on the top of the weather interface (it’s hidden if there’s no rain expected). It will also appear on your home screen if you add a weather widget.
- bsimpson 4y agoFWIW, Google does that (at least on Android). You get a notification if it's expected to rain soon. Honestly, Dark Sky had been my habitual weather app until Apple killed it, but it doesn't seem as accurate as I expected. I don't know if this means I've been in places where their data is less optimized, or if I'm just noticing it more now that I have to look at other options.
- vl 4y agoDark Sky hyper-prediction is very location-dependent. In some places it’s spot-on, in other not even in the ballpark.
- Jamie9912 4y agoIt depends where you are exactly, I had it available in the UK, but in Australia I haven't seen it
