Apple Weather forecasts for my area have shown a 30-50% chance of precipitation for eternity, even when there isn’t a cloud in sight. My meteorologist has told his readers to ignore Apple’s forecasts.

This started around the time the Apple Weather outages a few months ago and haven’t improved. YSK that you can report inaccurate forecasts from within the app, but it hasn’t improved for me.

I’m currently using Foreca on iPhone and the free version of Carrot on Apple Watch.

    Dark Sky was the best! All apple needed to do was rename it and yet here we are. Accurate weather reporting should be a given at this point and they can’t get it right.

      For you it might have been. But it went to shit for me long before the Apple announcement. As with most things location, location, location.

      As other have said there are various weather models produced by different companies. And some are better in certain areas than others.
