Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar

Storm Intercept • A severe storm heading your way runs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: how likely it is to turn severe, how far out, and a countdown to arrival — mirrored to the Apple Watch Smart Stack. • When a storm is going to miss, it says so — the closest it will come, then it gets out of your way. Storms on the radar • Storm Cells draws every tracked cell on the map with its probability of turning severe — NOAA/CIMSS ProbSevere guidance, updated every two minutes. Tap a cell for severity trend, hail, wind and tornado breakdown, lightning rate and echo top. • Severe Storm Alert and Large Hail Alert ship ready-made, or build your own rule on severe probability or hail size. Severe weather on your widgets • Widgets now show a warning badge when a severe weather warning is active for their location. Tap it on a medium or large widget to see every active warning, then tap one for full details. • Weather alert notifications open details right in the app, and overlapping alerts of the same type appear separately, ordered by severity. Severe Risk • On the rare day the national outlook reaches Enhanced or higher, a Severe Risk card leads the main screen. Tap it to see the outlook drawn over the radar. • Severe Outlook Alerts can tell you when the outlook where you are gets upgraded, hours before any watch is issued. Storm Tracker • A storm closing on your location gets a card that leads with the verdict: on track for you, or expected to miss — with a live countdown to arrival. • After it passes, a storm report records what actually happened, and Storm Reports keeps two years of them. Compare cities • Up to five saved cities sit above or below your forecast. Tap to compare, or jump straight to that city. • Set a Home location and it joins your forecast automatically whenever you're away. Week Ahead Outlook • A short read on the week's pattern above the daily forecast — the turning points and the standout day. US outlooks now draw on the National Weather Service forecaster's own discussion. Stargazing & Astronomy • Stargazing Conditions shows tonight's best window, darkness, Moon, and weather, with an hourly quality chart. • Astronomy Alerts add meteor showers, eclipses and planetary events, each with your best local viewing time. Live Sunset Alerts • A heads-up minutes before a sunset worth stepping outside for, sent only when live satellite imagery confirms the forecast. Time Machine • Open any supported date, past or future, with a clear morning-to-night graph and backgrounds that follow the place, date and weather. • Pick dates on a month grid — swipe through months, tap the title for a year grid back to 1979, and Today snaps back in one tap. Weather Photos • Choose a photo — its date and location recreate the weather around it — then place weather artwork from restrained typography to atmospheric rain, snow and stars. On iPad • An hourly conditions chart sits below the alerts in both layouts, and landscape gets the storm tracker, storm report and weather-change cards portrait already had. Also in this release • Forecast charts are redrawn with a smoother gradient-filled curve, a current-hour marker, and a marker that follows your finger. • Cloud cover, humidity and visibility draw as lines on the hourly chart, and scrubbing snaps to your finger. • The main screen can pick its own tiles from current conditions — UV while the sun is up, gusts when it's gusty. • A redesigned subscription screen, with prices and trial terms straight from the App Store. • Forecast Bar works with VoiceOver. • Swipe right anywhere to open the side menu, and location search finds parks, ski areas and landmarks. • Global radar now plays into the future, so you can scrub ahead anywhere on Earth. • Wildfire smoke joins the radar, with an hour-by-hour PM2.5 forecast.
