End the applause for the popular weather app Dark sky. As expected, Apple pulled the plug on January 1, 2023.
Dark sky is a weather forecast application for the next 24 hours and even for several days. But the application has made a difference on the quality of its weather analysis service. Apple acquired the app in March 2020 and has since integrated many of the app’s features into the Weather app that comes pre-installed on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
In early December 2022, Apple shared a supporting document containing information about how users of Dark sky can use the Weather app. The latter now offers “hyperlocal” forecasts. Contains information such as:
- rainfall for the next hour,
- hourly forecast for the next 10 days,
- high resolution radar maps
- and severe weather notifications.
To use the features Dark sky in the Weather app, your device must be updated to iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS Ventura.
Apple will also shut down the API of Dark sky for third-party weather apps on March 31, 2023. Apple is introducing its own WeatherKit API as a replacement.
