Apple Weather's forecasts are so bad my meteorologist made a post about it - SDF Chatter

Apple Weather forecasts for my area have shown a 30-50% chance of precipitation for eternity, even when there isn’t a cloud in sight. My meteorologist has told his readers to ignore Apple’s forecasts [https://spacecityweather.com/excessive-heat-continues-and-despite-what-your-weather-app-says-its-not-going-to-rain/]. This started around the time the Apple Weather outages a few months ago and haven’t improved. YSK that you can report inaccurate forecasts from within the app, but it hasn’t improved for me. I’m currently using Foreca on iPhone and the free version of Carrot on Apple Watch.

I’ve noticed the same thing. I was somewhat optimistic about Apple’s purchase of DarkSky and planned integration of DarkSky technology into Apple Weather. I mean, DarkSky was awesome. Surely, DarkSky technology + Apple’s resources would result in the ultimate weather app! Boy, was I wrong. Apple obviously took a wrong turn somewhere because the new and improved Apple Weather is anything but.

Dark Sky was the best! All apple needed to do was rename it and yet here we are. Accurate weather reporting should be a given at this point and they can’t get it right.

Why don’t they just make a deal with a reputable meteorology group, and just use their reports.

Hasn’t IBM (of all people) bought them all?
