Apple claimed to have integrated Dark Sky's technologies into their Weather app but clearly haven't. I've relied on Dark Sky's rain notifications for years and they've always been remarkably accurate (UK here), but the stock Weather app sends maybe one notification per 100 rains. So far this year, since Apple turned off Dark Sky, I haven't received a single rain notification and consequently I've been absolutely drenched on several dog walks.

I ran both in parallel for a while. Local to me they were pretty close but not quite the same. Dark Sky was always more accurate when they differed.
