Apple acquired Dark Sky in March 2020 and has since incorporated many of the app’s features into the Weather app pre-installed on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Earlier this month, Apple announced that Dark Sky users will now receive notifications about precipitation for the next hour, hourly forecasts for the next 10 days, high-resolution radar maps, and severe weather.
To use Dark Sky features in the Weather app, your device must be updated to iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS Ventura. Some features are currently only available in certain countries, as detailed in a separate Apple support document.
On March 31, 2023, Apple will also shut down the Dark Sky API for third-party weather apps and replace it with its own WeatherKit API.
