Dark Sky weather app is officially discontinued by Apple

Even while the news appears discouraging, there is still hope for users who liked the characteristics of Dark Sky. Apple claims that the data of the application has been avilable in the "Tempo" app. Which is accessible in the App Store for users of devices running iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS 13 Ventura.

While the severe weather alert is available. Several aspects such as the hourly precipitation forecast and air quality, are not accessible to everyone.

Apple published a post demonstrating how users can get information in the official Weather app. Continuing to focus on assisting users who were lovers of Dark Sky.

• Geometric Weather

Geometric Weather is one of the greatest weather apps if you prefer small, simple ones. It offers current temperature, air quality, a two week prediction of the weather, and regional warnings for severe weather.

It's still just a TestFlight app, though. However, a public version has become available for Android users on the Play store. So perhaps the iOS App Store will get it soon.
