Since Apple has been integrating more Dark Sky features into their app, I've found it incredibly accurate. Maybe it's just me, but Dark Sky was always my go-to weather app, but now Apple's weather is pretty much replacing it because Apple actually bought the company.
My wife and I tested this out. She uses weatherBug and I use Apple weather app. WeatherBug was more accurate with rain conditions but was also completely wrong one day out of about a months worth of time. Apple weather was hit or miss. Sometimes saying rain but I never did and then sometimes saying no rain and it rained. Maybe weatherBug uses local data. Idk. But I’ll continue to use Apple Weather because of the radar feature being so easy to use.
They are not reliable at all especially here in America. Weather channel is a vastly superior look at the data he provided on screen it’s about 7% more accurate.
I've actually found the opposite in my area in the UK. Dark sky used to be great, but ever since they integrated with apple weather I've found it to be almost totally useless
@@Krysstophe Dark Sky (and subsequently Apple Weather) provide hyper-localised forecasts by taking the live data from your local weather stations (the places observing and measuring, not channels forecasting) and use the wind speed and direction data to calculate when those conditions are likely to reach you based on your location (obtained via GPS, WiFi, and Cellular). As well as your location, the accuracy is also dependent on your local weather observation stations (number of stations, their instruments, distance, and if they are supplying differing/conflicting meteorological data). I’m based in Kingston upon Hull on the north east coast, we’re a major shipping hub so because of that and Humber estuary we may have more accurate weather data here.
@@melsagelord3991 I prefer the NWS since it’s literally part of the government and is where alot of these stuff here gets stuff like weather alerts from.
I was sitting at work one day freezing my butt off the app said that it was 47° and I thought I was being a little B**** then suddenly started to snow while it still said no snow and 47° right now it’s pissing rain is telling me there’s no rain expected until Thursday
what I found must intriguing is the fact that me and two of my coworkers all have the same iPhone model, same iOS version and our weather apps usually show 3 different forecasts.
Mine is extremely accurate since iOS 15 and I live up in the north of Canada where we have more than six months of -40 or even -57 with snow 7 feet tall fully covering your doors and windows and I have been using data for a long time and finally when the software updates came out for my parents, they have even said how much more accurate the weather app is for them. They used to ask me to check my phone.
in my place here in the philiipines, it's quite accurate but there was a time a month ago where the app says its 34 or 35C when the highs were only around 31-33C. glad it's been fixed now and it shows more accurate forecasts
Here in Athens , it's almost 100% accurate . This is due to the fact that it's constantly sunny and rarely it will be cloudy or rainy , thus helping the algorithm predict the weather
In Southern California (Los Angeles) the weathermen would improve their accuracy significantly by simply saying, "tomorrow's forecast same as today." It only rains 34 days a year on average, so always predicting no rain would make them 91% accurate. Instead they use their tools and get the accuracy down to around 70%.
I always knew Apple got their info from the Weather Channel so I didn’t know what more they could do about the accuracy of the weather. I was confused for a bit by the title but glad it made sense in the end!
If they get their info from the weather channel, then why am I looking at one forecast on my phone from Apple weather, and it DOESNT match what the Weather Channel forecast is for the same day?
Why does the title say "So Inaccurate"? If they only get it wrong about 20% of the time, I think the title should just say "sometimes inaccurate". Felt clickbaited tbh
No weather app will ever be perfect, just like meteorologists are notoriously known for getting the weather completely wrong. It’s near impossible to predict the weather, but even so the iPhones weather app does a pretty good job for me!

I had called my parents & they said the tv said it was supposed to rain the rest of the evening into the night. So I attempted to drive home…. It was horrible!!!!

The weather here in Australia has been odd lately. We get more rainy days than sunny days. I love the rain but it’s been months and I’m kinda getting annoyed with the rain.

It kept telling me it was gonna snow in the next hour every hour, and no snow. It even said it was snowing and it was sunny that moment. I usually use Overdrop.
Canada's main television and online forecaster is The Weather Network and it has an iOS app. However after trying it out I went back to the good-enough default Weather app in part because there's no ads cluttering its screen.
This app gets weather right for me above 90% of the time. Sometimes it can be wrong in terms of precipitation amounts. I never take forecasts after 48 hours too seriously.
I’m located in Georgia, USA. The temperature is always right, like exactly right. That being said the rain predictions are never right!! Like literally never.
Couldn’t agree more on this disfuction as it doesn’t accurately showcase the correct weather results for a particular day and hour is very overwhelming as it is not merely be an indication of what the weather might be on the upcoming days
I have The Weather Channel app. I never even look at my Apple predictions. I’m just obsessed with all the information I get fromThe Weather Channel app! I love it!
I can understand why a forecast for 5 days in the future could be inaccurate. I can’t understand why it could be pouring outside while the weather app says “mostly sunny” with no chance of rain. I’ve seen the opposite too, where it’ll say it’s raining, yet there’ll only be a few clouds in the sky. That’s happened to me quite a few times over the past few years alone. I don’t live in a rural area either.
When referring to The Weather Channel, it’s talking about The Weather Company, an IBM business. Since 2017, The Weather Channel cable network in English and Spanish and The Weather Company are separated entities, but the cable network has a license to The Weather Channel name and access to IBM business’ data

Since apple replaced their source from The weather channel to Dark sky in ios 16 the weather forecast as well as current weather conditions has became VERY inaccurate. To the extend that while there is raining a whole day outside, apple weather shows Sunny day. The interface and design of the home widgets are also now much worse than it was before in ios 15. I have second iphone with ios 15 which still uses The weather channel as a source and its weather forecast is excellent. Why apple always make thinks worse?? Amazingly worse.
It’s super foggy where I’m at but the app is saying it’s clear skies for my area. I’ve submitted reports but since it still relies on the weather channel for its data, it’s still going to be INACCURATE. Dark sky was acquired for its forecast but the current conditions still leave a lot to be desired
They really do a little trolling when it’s storming outside and they say it’s sunny, or when it says it’ll snow in the middle of the Australian Outback.
What even more hilarious is the fact that the default was that for iPhone is still highly inaccurate even after acquiring dark sky a year ago and just now shutting it down this year.
I am here after being in a kayak in the middle of a lake during a downpour with thunder and lightning on a day that said 0% chance of rain and cloudy, I pull out my phone and sure enough, still says it is currently not raining and it won't until tomorrow. 😂 I guess I will have to start watching the local news
It was supposed to be in the high 70’s this weekend for Portland the last time I checked and now it’s saying rain rain rain only in the 50’s in May??🤦🏽♂️ they need to get it together
In Japan, at least in Tokyo it’s passable at telling us if it’ll rain that day, but will almost screw up every time unless it’s raining all day. At worst it’ll keep changing the prediction midway. It’ll be like, it won’t start raining till 10pm, starts raining at 3 pm, and just change everything to rain. What’s frustrating is that sometimes it’s different depending on the phone. Afterwork, my coworker and I wanted to check if it was raining outside. (Very dark, at best we can confirm that it was raining). my phone, says it’s still raining and will continue to rain. Hers says it’s no longer raining and won’t rain again that night… Same Se2, same weather section for Tokyo… It might just be for japan but it can be awful.
Yet, with all the weather apps out there Apple’s is inaccurate. More to do with microclimate weather location instead of regional county wide weather as well as frequency of updates.
It seems pretty accurate here in the UK. However they dont seem to have much warnings or mentions for severe weather. We had a tornado watch on the 28th but there was nothing in the weather app
I'm on Samsung and their weather app is very accurate for my area. Even Google's built-in weather alerts are incredibly accurate. I have never been hit by surprise weather
I don't tend to have an issue. In fact I find it pretty accurate for the most part. But then again it's not difficult to state that it's gonna rain here in the UK, since it mostly does all the time anyway.
I've tried literally half a dozen times to write a comment about the local weather reports here from a developer's standpoint, and all of them got deleted. I give up... Google is way too heavy-handed with these things.
There was a similar issue during the COVID-19 pandemic with local governments' data. And we managed to solve it. 1. At the data source, you have the governments. Their data is structured in whichever way they see fit. 2. The Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering (or JHU-CSSE for short) assembled a small but crucially important team of people, that would convert each government's data format into something more common. CSV became that format. 3. Since the JHU's format is excellent for archival purposes but not really for real-time applications interacting with it, API providers such as disease [dot] sh (dear Google, can URL filtering please be done less heavy-handedly?!) sprung up. Instead of having to query a CSV file for the whole world's data, they'd instead provide a JSON output for the one country you're interested in, using that JHU data as its source. 4. Finally you have the people like me, who would parse that data and present it in COVID-19 statistics tracker applications.
Translating this to weather data, the local weather reports would be at the first stage -- data represented in whichever format the local broadcaster sees fit. This needs to either be standardized (very difficult, as it requires broad consensus, but this may be worth it long-term), or converted by a third party (the second stage from above) into a more useful format. During the pandemic, conversion made more sense, as it would inevitably be a temporary problem. It didn't deserve the vast amount of effort that standardization would require. But for weather which will be with us until the end of days, it may well be worth it. Either way, it is a solvable problem, and if weather apps want to become accurate, it has to be solved.
Is it only me who’s had accurate one since a while? Like, I had a point when my android phone was showing sunny for the day while my iPhone has slightly lower chance of rain, and it rained, maybe it’s area based but it’s been fairly accurate for Delhi in my experience
Totally agreed my weather app says it's 67 degrees in northern California I guarantee it is about 75 at least they are out of their minds they always say feels like some low temp
If you have ever lived or visited the pacific northwest for any amount of time it's common knowledge that the weather is so varied and could change in a heartbeat but the weather people do their best.
As someone who lives in the PNW I find the weather is actually extremely slow to change. If you're somewhere flat and continental, clouds blow in way more quickly and cause weather to change fast. Here, it seems more slow to change with all the mountains.
Weather app accuracy also depends on where you live. I check at least three different weather forecasts each day, including the NWS local office. All are significantly wrong most of the time on the U.S. West Coast. Yet when I visit relatives in Wisconsin or Texas, forecasts are much more accurate. Why? Given the prevailing weather front tracks from West to East, those states have more than a thousand miles of dense weather stations to aid forecasts. On the West Coast we have the Pacific Ocean with a handful of buoys and a few ships donating weather observations. Maybe. Plus we have so many micro-climates it’s crazy. In a 10-minute drive I can go from 95 F and sunny to 60 F and foggy on too many days of the year. I laugh at 10-day forecasts, and rarely believe the general outline more than 2-3 days out.

It was supposed to be in the high 70’s this weekend for Portland the last time I checked and now it’s saying rain rain rain only in the 50’s in May??🤦🏽♂️ they need to get it together
Predicting the weather is hard, sure, but we can definitely predict what the average temperature will be at the end of the century 🤦🏼♂️
In Japan, at least in Tokyo it’s passable at telling us if it’ll rain that day, but will almost screw up every time unless it’s raining all day. At worst it’ll keep changing the prediction midway. It’ll be like, it won’t start raining till 10pm, starts raining at 3 pm, and just change everything to rain. What’s frustrating is that sometimes it’s different depending on the phone.
Afterwork, my coworker and I wanted to check if it was raining outside. (Very dark, at best we can confirm that it was raining). my phone, says it’s still raining and will continue to rain. Hers says it’s no longer raining and won’t rain again that night…
Same Se2, same weather section for Tokyo… It might just be for japan but it can be awful.
The fact that this was all in Fahrenheit confused tf out of me lmao
Yes!!! This guy actually knows what he's talkin about especially that the local weather station is always going to be more accurate
POV:Its the morning and it shows night on weather app
I had a 100% chance of snow on google Siri and Alexa on my birthday and there wasn’t one snowflake
I've asked Siri if there would be rain today, replying with none forecast even though it was raining out side at that very time.
AccuWeather was and is my always go too. Maybe it’s just me but the weather channel always seems to be unable to predict weather in the same day.
It has not failed to me here at Mumbai, India. Light showers probabilities are however exceptional by nature.
Here in Brazil the weather app is soooo good, so precise!
Could you do a video that explains why Apple placed the overnight low BEFORE the daily high? Because, yeah, that makes no sense...
Yet, with all the weather apps out there Apple’s is inaccurate.
More to do with microclimate weather location instead of regional county wide weather as well as frequency of updates.
Why there’s no pause button in iPhone’s video recording?
It seems pretty accurate here in the UK. However they dont seem to have much warnings or mentions for severe weather. We had a tornado watch on the 28th but there was nothing in the weather app
You sound Apple. You should become THE Apple voice!
I'm on Samsung and their weather app is very accurate for my area. Even Google's built-in weather alerts are incredibly accurate. I have never been hit by surprise weather
0:12 There are so many sunshine icons, Chicago is so sunny 😳
It’s normal.
I don't tend to have an issue. In fact I find it pretty accurate for the most part.
But then again it's not difficult to state that it's gonna rain here in the UK, since it mostly does all the time anyway.
The the new weather app is dark sky. Apple bought them two years ago and dark sky is going away the first of the year 2023
Apple bought Dark Sky 2 years ago in 2020. NOT last year in 2021.

Video came out when my weather apps been right since it’s been raining all day lol
I find meteorology very fascinating!
Maybe Apple should use local meteorologists for their own weather app.
This dude is speaking fax right now
Like Weather said there is gonna be a thunderstorm at 3PM and there was NO THUNDERSTORM AT ALL!!
I've tried literally half a dozen times to write a comment about the local weather reports here from a developer's standpoint, and all of them got deleted. I give up... Google is way too heavy-handed with these things.
One last try.
Regarding the local weather reports being inaccessible to these multinational weather providers:
There was a similar issue during the COVID-19 pandemic with local governments' data. And we managed to solve it.
1. At the data source, you have the governments. Their data is structured in whichever way they see fit.
2. The Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering (or JHU-CSSE for short) assembled a small but crucially important team of people, that would convert each government's data format into something more common. CSV became that format.
3. Since the JHU's format is excellent for archival purposes but not really for real-time applications interacting with it, API providers such as disease [dot] sh (dear Google, can URL filtering please be done less heavy-handedly?!) sprung up. Instead of having to query a CSV file for the whole world's data, they'd instead provide a JSON output for the one country you're interested in, using that JHU data as its source.
4. Finally you have the people like me, who would parse that data and present it in COVID-19 statistics tracker applications.
Translating this to weather data, the local weather reports would be at the first stage -- data represented in whichever format the local broadcaster sees fit. This needs to either be standardized (very difficult, as it requires broad consensus, but this may be worth it long-term), or converted by a third party (the second stage from above) into a more useful format. During the pandemic, conversion made more sense, as it would inevitably be a temporary problem. It didn't deserve the vast amount of effort that standardization would require. But for weather which will be with us until the end of days, it may well be worth it. Either way, it is a solvable problem, and if weather apps want to become accurate, it has to be solved.
Is it only me who’s had accurate one since a while? Like, I had a point when my android phone was showing sunny for the day while my iPhone has slightly lower chance of rain, and it rained, maybe it’s area based but it’s been fairly accurate for Delhi in my experience
been "Likely" to be *Deceived*
Totally agreed my weather app says it's 67 degrees in northern California I guarantee it is about 75 at least they are out of their minds they always say feels like some low temp
Dark sky has been purchased by Apple couple years ago. Dark sky app is going off-line Oct 12th and will be fully integrated into apple weather app.
TLDW: It isn’t. In fact, ever since the dark sky acquisition it’s very accurate
Didn't know this was an issue! Mine has always been accurate in Puerto Rico and now in Spain.
If you have ever lived or visited the pacific northwest for any amount of time it's common knowledge that the weather is so varied and could change in a heartbeat but the weather people do their best.
As someone who lives in the PNW I find the weather is actually extremely slow to change. If you're somewhere flat and continental, clouds blow in way more quickly and cause weather to change fast. Here, it seems more slow to change with all the mountains.
I'd be interested in knowing why my Apple Watch doesn't always agree with my iPhone on the weather
They beefin
Weather app accuracy also depends on where you live.
I check at least three different weather forecasts each day, including the NWS local office. All are significantly wrong most of the time on the U.S. West Coast. Yet when I visit relatives in Wisconsin or Texas, forecasts are much more accurate. Why?
Given the prevailing weather front tracks from West to East, those states have more than a thousand miles of dense weather stations to aid forecasts. On the West Coast we have the Pacific Ocean with a handful of buoys and a few ships donating weather observations. Maybe.
Plus we have so many micro-climates it’s crazy. In a 10-minute drive I can go from 95 F and sunny to 60 F and foggy on too many days of the year. I laugh at 10-day forecasts, and rarely believe the general outline more than 2-3 days out.
