Apple Weather forecasts for my area have shown a 30-50% chance of precipitation for eternity, even when there isn’t a cloud in sight. My meteorologist has told his readers to ignore Apple’s forecasts.

This started around the time the Apple Weather outages a few months ago and haven’t improved. YSK that you can report inaccurate forecasts from within the app, but it hasn’t improved for me.

I’m currently using Foreca on iPhone and the free version of Carrot on Apple Watch.

    That’s not true - I’m seeing 6 different weather sources in Carrot, and while they probably share raw data, they use different models. Dark Sky (which apple bought and re-branded) wasn’t just an app, it was its own hyper local (and accurate) weather model. Apple broke it.

      It started to go to shit right around the end of 2020 for me. Dark Sky went to complete dog shit in my part of the Bay Area. It became comically inaccurate.
