Weather is a weather forecast app developed by Apple Inc., available on iOS since the release of the iPhone and iPhone OS 1 in 2007.[1][2] It allows users to see the conditions, forecast, temperature, and other related metrics of the device's current location, as well as a number of other cities. A version of Weather is also available for watchOS; however, it is limited in functionality.[3] Weather was made available on more devices across the Apple ecosystem with the releases of iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura, where weather data from Apple was previously only available as a widget or through Siri.
From iPhone OS 1 to iOS 7, Yahoo! Weather was used as the weather data source of the app; in March 2019, Yahoo! shut down the servers distributing data for the Weather app on devices supporting iPhone OS 1 to iOS 7. From iOS 8 to iOS 15, The Weather Channel was used as the weather data source of the app.[4] Since iOS 16, Apple has used its own internal forecast data.
Following the acquisition of the weather app Dark Sky, many features have been rolled into Apple's own Weather app with the release of iOS 15.[5] Support for Dark Sky ended at the beginning of 2023, with users being urged to migrate to the Weather app.[6]
