Apple is making notable improvements to the built-in Weather app in iOS 16, expanding the available data, making further use of the company’s acquisition of Dark Sky in early 2020.
You can now tap on any Weather module to get additional useful information that was not previously available in iOS 15.
Tapping on the main hourly or 10-day forecast, for example, brings up a more detailed forecast that lets you see the temperature for each day in a graph view, making it easier to visualize the temperature range and the weather conditions on an hourly basis.
Most of the modules provide additional information on an hourly basis. With the UV Index, users can see the UV estimates throughout the day, and get a visual of when UV exposure will be highest.
There are similar hourly graphs for wind, precipitation, humidity, visibility, and pressure. The sunset/sunrise module provides information on first light, sunrise sunset, last light, and total daylight, along with monthly sunrise and sunset averages. When rain is predicted, there is a rain chart with 10 minute intervals.

I went to check out the Dark Sky app and was surprised to see that it’s still paid ($4). Are there any other Apple-owned apps that cost money? I guess I’m glad we’ll all be getting access to some of this data in iOS 16, but I wonder why the app has remained paid this long
Apple amateur weather app needs to improve. Dark Sky is a professional weather app. Apple weather under iOS 15 certainly is not.
