Brett’s iTip: I’ve really been impressed with what Apple is doing with the iPhone’s default weather app since they purchased the Dark Sky app in 2020. Now with iOS 15 you can have the default weather app provide notifications when precipitation starts or stops. First you’ll need to make sure you allow the Weather app has access to your current location in the Settings and Privacy section. Then open the Weather app (I have my as a widget on the front of my iPhone screen) and tap the “bullet list” in the upper right. Then tap “Notifications” and toggle on notifications for the locations you have in the list.
Jeff’s iTip: If you use the excellent CARROT Weather app, you can choose the weather data source from within the app’s settings. Sources in the United States include:
- Dark Sky
- AccuWeather
- Tomorrow.io
- AerisWeather
- Foreca [based on Finland]
- MeteoGroup [based on the Netherlands]
- Personal weather stations
- Public personal weather stations
…and don’t forget that you can customize the layout of the app.
