A comment on Dark Sky users can use the Apple Weather app.

I guess what annoys me about Apple Weather is that data I could get with Dark Sky by simply scrolling now takes two clicks. There’s a big difference between .5” of snow a day and 12”, so being able to find this information quickly is important.

Adding more clicks to get to the same information feels like a regression.

It would be nice if I could specify in settings or something to “show these parts of weather data first” or something.

Also pet peeve but the radar map always loads slowly. In big square chunks, can take 3-5 seconds to fully render a storm system, whereas dark sky this was always pretty instant.

Yeah, I've been mostly using Apple Weather as I need to get used to it anyways. But for a few things, in particular precipitation amounts, I immediately switch back to Dark Sky.

Carrot weather app is very customisable to show the information you want

Hi, I tried to do my best to get all the hourly weather data into a single chart vizualization - have a look at https://weathergraph.app

It uses (apart from soon to close Dark Sky API) yr.no, indie-made open-meteo, and Foreca (which consistently ranks among top 3 services at https://www.forecastadvisor.com and is similarly good in Europe).

The app cares about privacy, has no ads and no tracking (as this is how I like all apps to behave). A subscription or a single lifetime payment pays for weather data and all themes and weather metrics, but there is a free version with yr.no data.

I'll be happy to answer any questions - Tomas from Weathergraph.
