As a reminder, Apple says it will shut down Dark Sky on January 1, 2023. The popular weather app was removed from the App Store back in September and will no longer work for existing users as of tomorrow.
Apple acquired Dark Sky in March 2020 and has since integrated many of the app’s features into the pre-installed Weather app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Earlier this month, Apple shared a support document with information on how Dark Sky users can use the Weather app, which now offers “hyperlocal” forecasts, including precipitation for the next hour, hourly forecasts for the next 10 days, high-resolution radar maps, and severe weather reports.
To use the Dark Sky features in the Weather app, your device must be updated to iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS Ventura. Some of the features are currently only available in select countries, as detailed in a separate Apple support document.
Apple will also be shutting down Dark Sky’s API for third-party weather apps on March 31, 2023, introducing its own WeatherKit API to replace it.
