Storm warnings and better weather

With so many third-party weather apps available it has been hard to look at the default Weather offering from Apple. This, however, may have changed thanks to some new features and a redesign that takes it to a whole new level. On the Apple Watch, it now feels like a rounded, efficient and complete offering.

Every minute matters

The fact that this is an Apple app ensures that the weather conditions and predictions are as timely as they can possibly be. Apple’s restrictions can sometimes delay real time performance on third-party apps, which is problematic for the Weather app.

A cleaner look

Minor visual changes mean that Weather looks even better on the Apple Watch now. This is such an important aspect for any app running in a small space and it really does feel like the default option now.

Storm warnings

Storm warnings may be more relevant in some places more than others, but when you think about it, they could save you from severe hardship or even save your life. It’s yet another safety feature with real world benefits.

Avoid the rain

Apple’s acquisition of Dark Sky is showing itself more and more, and you can now check for upcoming rain. It is displayed graphically for the next hour, meaning you should be able to avoid getting wet at all times.
