Severe Weather Alerts

Apple’s Weather app is pretty basic compared others many of the other options out there, but after Apple acquired Dark Sky earlier this year, we knew that they had to be up to something, and it looks like iOS 14 will bear the first fruits of this new acquisition, with info on severe weather alerts, upcoming changes in weather such as precipitation notifications, and more.

These are all things that Dark Sky has provided for a while, so it seems that Apple is simply leveraging the features and data sources behind that popular weather app. Most of these features will be available in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Europe, although some features, like minute-by-minute precipitation forecasts, may be more limited in scope.
