September 14, 2026

##### Highlighted Changes * Introducing Rainy Skies Gold! Gold includes faster weather, air quality, and pollen updates along with new weather sources, favorite-location forecasts, expanded History features, and background Trip Planner updates. * Gold members can now use NOAA / National Weather Service forecasts in the United States. AirNow.gov is now the default air quality source for U.S. locations, with Google available as an alternative. * History now includes "Today in History" comparisons and a "Time Machine" for viewing any completed month back to January 2021. (Gold subscription required) * "Trip Planner" - plan single or multi-destination trips, see live forecasts and historical climate data for each stop, and get notified when a trip forecast becomes available or changes significantly. * "Favorite Locations" - mark your most important saved locations as favorites. Gold members can see current conditions and a seven-day forecast for each one right from the Locations screen. * Updated for OS 27 with a refreshed app icon and new extra-large portrait widgets on iPhone. ##### New Features * App: Updated the minimum version to 27.0. * App (AI): Expanded "Ask Rainy Skies" with better current, forecast, and historical weather tools, more concise multi-day answers, and improved recovery from model errors. * App (Daily): Added a customizable summary above the daily forecast with the dominant condition, precipitation, UV Index, wind, wind gusts, and feels-like temperature when relevant. * App (Daily): Added new daily forecast views for precipitation amount, UV Index, wind, Air Quality Index, and pollen. * App (Detail): Hourly and Daily forecasts now share a detail screen with selectable charts and data points. * App (iPad + Mac): Saved locations can now open in independent, restorable weather windows. * App (iPad + Mac): Added keyboard shortcuts for switching between Weather, Radar, History, Ask Rainy Skies, and Trip Planner. * App (Settings): Added a setting to use Feels Like as the primary temperature throughout the app, widgets, and Apple Watch. * App (Settings): Added guidance for improving notification freshness by using a widget or Always Location access. * App (Settings): Updated the default accent color to be based on the app icon. * App (Settings-Notifications): Today and Tomorrow Daily Summaries now share content, sound, and badge settings while keeping separate schedules and forecast time periods. * App (UI): Added a Settings button to the main screens when the sidebar isn't available. * Notifications: Daily Summaries can now include precipitation timing and feels-like temperature when it differs enough from the actual temperature. * Widgets: Added extra-large portrait versions of the Forecast and Hourly + Daily Chart widgets. ##### Bug Fixes * App: Fixed weather refreshes sometimes returning stale data after changing locations or overlapping requests, and added clearer loading, cached-weather, failure, and retry states. * App (Charts): Fixed selecting Air Quality Index values and corrected annotation colors on Location Info charts. * App (Location): Fixed weather sometimes remaining stuck while finding the current location when it matched a cached location. * App (Radar): Added an error message when radar data can't be loaded. * Notifications: Fixed precipitation notifications being sent repeatedly for the same precipitation event. * Watch: Fixed missing Air Quality configuration. And finally... I tried to catch some fog yesterday. ... ... I mist.

User reviews

Great Weather App!

I enjoy the layout and features of this app. It’s accurate and easy to navigate. It’s a great value!

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind review! I hope you continue to enjoy the app.

Best weather app!

Dark sky was my favorite weather app before it got discontinued. This app is similar but they’ve made it even better!

Love the user experience!

I’m loving this app - I love that there are no adds and it doesn’t seem glitchy at all! It’s clean and easy to toggle between weather aspects.

My only thing is that I don’t really know what the colored bars mean on the side beside the time of day, but that doesn’t impede my use of the app at all!

Response from developer

I'm so glad you're enjoying the app, and thank you for the review! The way that the colored bars work (as of version 1.1) is as follows: Blue - possible rain, gray - cloudy, yellow - clear daytime, purple - clear nighttime. Thank you for supporting an independent developer, I have some great updates coming in the next few weeks!
