What's New in NWS Weather (Unofficial)

1.3.0

November 6, 2026

iPhone Duo NWS Weather now runs on iPhone Duo. Closed, it is the iPhone app you know. Open, your locations sit beside the forecast, and the weather map opens from the map card, as in Apple's Weather. A look that follows iOS 27 • Cards take on the colour of the sky instead of a flat grey, and overcast nights are darker. • Alerts are now a card in the forecast. Severe and Extreme alerts keep the banner at the top, so a warning is never a scroll away. • Units open as a sheet from the ••• menu: Celsius or Fahrenheit, plus wind, precipitation, pressure and distance. • The hero says "Windy" when it is, and today's row shows a moon once the sun is down. • Today's detail charts hatch the hours already past, and the bottom bar is sized like Apple's. Weather-aware • When rain is falling or on its way, the map and precipitation cards move to the top. • The map opens on the layer the weather calls for (radar for rain, temperature for dangerous heat or cold, wind when it is windy) and remembers the layer you pick for each kind of weather. • Change units at the foot of any detail page without leaving the chart. • Long-press the map to open a spot in Apple Maps; the full map shows where you are.
