Another feature I found so helpful in the weather app is that in the list of locations one has selected, you can see the local time. I go to this all the time when contacting friends and family in far away places. So convenient for me.
Mr. Garry! I just want to thank you for the many good things I learned from your daily clips. this is my humble appreciation regarding your teaching, accept it.---------Sir! you are a very good teacher.
Thanks Gary - this was an excellent Vlog! I really never knew the complete functionality of this app? Not sure why you would really want anything more in a weather app?
Wind chill factor - hahaha! In south-east Queensland today, we get the opposite. Temperature is 29 C and feels like 32 C due to humidity. And the map is coloured orange and red. Air quality is unavailable for my part of the world. Very helpful video - I had never really looked at the weather app beyond the top few boxes of info.
Yes, I too, am in SE Queensland, Australia & was interested to see that you don't have the Air Quality feature either. I wonder whether it's only available for certain countries.
The app is pretty good. The best thing about it? NO ADS!!! The Weather Channel app free version is HORRENDOUS when it comes to ads, and it pesters you incessantly to purchase the ad free version that gives you somewhat useless information. I do wish we had the ability to add more map filters for cycling, transit etc. The open in maps feature is not very helpful. I'd also like to be able to change the transparency of the overlays as they are too dense and nebulous at the same time.
Thank you. I got tired of global warming news from some apps. Don't want news, just want the weather. I had forgotten how useful the Apple weather app is. I'm going back to it. RH
I didn't know whether to use the Apple Weather App or another. With my obligatory pun dispatched, I am really impressed with your overviews. I genuinely had NO idea how many features there are, but more importantly, how to access them without being a code monkey. With an Apple Watch and an iPhone, a computer is becoming secondary in importance. So might I request more watch and phone features including their INTEROPERABILITY. Thanks again, Gary, for doing all this - you really ARE the best at it.
One of your best explanations. The weather app has a lot going for it and you drew out all the information that's available in a clear and logical way.
There was a time I dismissed the weather app and was using an alternative. That changed over a year ago when I discovered the weather app is very, very useful and only getting better. Using the notifications to be alerted when rain or snow is about to fall is a great perk. Keep up the great work!
Very nice. However it seems to leave wind out of the forecast. It does show current wind speed, but I’d like to see the projected wind speed by the hour.
I kept thinking the bars represented the temp through the day. As in: left being start of day and right being end of day. Now they finally make sense!! Surprised they don’t have an explanation within the app when they’re so unintuitive!
Apple should give us the ability to change the temperature to "feels like". That is the temperature that matters to outside workers... you don't dress for the temperature, you dress for what it feels like.
Those bars also indicate the temperature spread for each day. So a longer bar means a wider spread. In countries like Jordan you should see hot daytime temperatures and cold nighttime temperatures. If you are going to be out for a long day you would dress accordingly for the temperature range of any particular day. A short bar should mean that the forecasted temperature won’t vary much and so the clothing you plan to use could be made up of less articles. Also one bar (somewhere in the forecast) will start from the farthest point on the left indicating the coldest day in the forecast and another bar will end on the far right indicating the warmest day in the forecast. Not sure how useful but this feature became an interesting discovery for me when months ago I was trying to figure out what the bars meant!
@@frenchriver9878 And when you are done with that, ask yourself why they have “visibility” limited to only 16 kms on a clear day when you can clearly see the sun at 93 million miles away!
Good clear complete presentation. I have a folder on my Home screen with three weather apps, one of which I go to first in the morning. Gary's presentation inspired me enough that I put the Apple "Weather" app back into my Home screen folder. Why more than one, especially when most of the base data comes from one or two locations? I found out while vacationing in Yosemite that the best way to make important decisions is to view more than one app (when critical three) and then average them.
One thing I notice is that even when changing my temperature preference to C from F, all the other units for wind speed, precipitation totals, etc. remain in Imperial mode (mph and inches). You would think once you elect to use degrees C everything else would adjust accordingly to kph, cm, mmHg. Maybe I'm missing something?
Maybe the data just needs to refresh? Or it could be using those measurements from your area, not your settings? Could be the data is just raw text from Weather.com and doesn't obey those settings.
If you go to the the weather app in settings and tap on weather notifications you get real time weather alerts on your lock screen for your location or any other place of rain, snow, etc.
i don't think the bars were explained that well. they are a comparison for the 10 day range. so each day is the range compared to the 10 days. so you can quickly get a visual for which days are on the cooler or hotter side of the range. i found this confusing.
You have great videos, thanks for what you do. I have a 12 Pro Max, which has the most current software update. Interestingly, on the temperature section there is no graph, only the digits, same on sunrise/sunset, only times. Thoughts?
The Problem with Apple (or us) is that we need for every apple app a tutorial nowadays. For example I had no idea for what the lines in the middle stand for. We need tutorials for the Messenger, Finder, Photos, Maps, ..., even Notes. Without macmost I wouldn't even know, that apple has a perfect working Scan App. It is hidden in the 3 dots in the Files App! And none of my colleagues knew that either - and we use a scanner app on a daily basis.
Gary I have a question, on the 10 day forecast I have an older ios version on my phone and it completely has different temperatures as the highs compared to this ios15 weather app version that my mom uses. I had to go on the weather channel app to see what is correct and they say my ios version is correct and not the new ios 15. So what gives?
Carrot is pretty good. And there's some fun games within the app. And up until yesterday you were able to use Dark Sky as the source of weather within Carrot. But something happened, (I suspect Apple up to no good) and Dark Sky as a source is unreliable now just as Apple's weather app.
That app has one big limitation: it doesn't show wind speed and direction forecasts for the next hours and days. If rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and there's high winds, I can't use an umbrella, it'll just snap. I need a rain gown. If I planned on going sailing the day after tomorrow, I need to know wind speed and direction
Great info... never scrolled down to see all that information... thanks. Could you make a video for troubleshooting AirPods not connecting to my MacBook Pro? my right earbud is not connecting but it still has all the options like.. pause, skip, turn on and off noise cancelling, etc... but no audio on my right one. when I connect to my iPhone, all works just fine. Thanks in advance
i’ve started managing horses and knowing the temperature/weather and what to do with them is SO important to maintaining their lively hood without any kind of illnesses or danger. this is my first time really monitoring weather apps and wondering what everything means and i’m quite confused. it says the coldest it will be of the day is 34 when i scroll down to the 10 day temperature reading, but when looking at the hourly forecast, the coldest i see is 39 at 7am. what gives?! is that 34 a guestimate or a “feels like” type thing? plus, why is rain/storms never accurate,.? it’ll say “70% chance of rain” but that will either mean 0% (barely sprinkling) or 100% (thunder and lightening), no in between. super frustrating!!!!!
Are you looking AT 7 am? Then perhaps it was 34 earlier in the morning, but the hourly shows from now until 24 hours from now. Or maybe this is the low coming later tonight. Those hourly forecasts are for the average temp for that hour, vs the high/low which is the high and low, not the average. Maybe ask a meteorologist about these to better understand forecasts. These aren't special "Apple" forecasts here, they are from Yahoo weather and the data comes from similar sources to your local weather news and national news, etc.
@@macmost - Yeah i saw that, but it still doesn't make sense to me. So there's a forecast high and low temperature for each day. What is the colored horizontal bar between them for?

You'll need to call Apple Support and probably take it to the Genius Bar for them to have a look if it isn't working properly.
How accurate is the weather app
As accurate as the weather data is is showing. Where that comes from depends on your region. Look at the bottom of the app and is shows you.
The day is not early morning to evening? How do you know when lowest will occur?
Not sure what you mean. If you want to know when the low will be, use the hourly. 1:15
How did you record the iphone image and screen of the iPhone? Just curious
I record the screen as a function of my production app (ScreenFlow). The image of the iPhone is just a graphic overlay on top of that.
