Apple integrated the hyperlocal darksky stuff into their native Weather app. It had a few growing pains, but it's as good as it ever was, imho.

- baxtr 11mo agoAgreed. The one thing I’d like them to improve are the precipitation maps though. They just feel awkward and unreliable.
- culi 11mo agoI've been burned by Apple's rain forecast many times causing me to time my bike ride home at the worst possible time I don't think DarkSky was any better though to be fair. It's just a hard problem
- jachee 11mo agoAlas, that's just the nature of precipitation maps. When radar is the only true source of what's coming down where, you're a the mercy of the laws of physics, and we don't have a large enough array of stations to give hyperlocal-quality coverage to every locality. Making it vague-ish was a design choice to help curtail complaints of inaccuracy while still giving near-enough-to-accurate information to be useful generally speaking.
