iOS 15 brought some great updates to the iPhone this September, one of which was a significant upgrade to the Weather app. The Weather revamp included many different improvements to improve users’ experience of the app, one of which is a new rain map.
To view the new Weather features, make sure you have iOS 15
How to find the Rain Map on the Weather app
Apple’s Weather App comes pre-installed on every iPhone. So just open up Weather, then go to the little map icon you will see in the bottom left corner. From there, tap the three small stacked squares in the top right to choose your weather filter. Go ahead and choose “Precipitation,” and voilà! There you have a visible map that displays exactly where it is raining around the world—right now, in the past, and in the future.
The levels of rain are color-coded to let you know exactly what level of precipitation you should expect, and leave home well prepared.
The colors range from lighter blue > purple > yellow > white, to provide visual illustration of the variation from light rain end to heaviest, respectively.
Other visual weather maps you can view from there include a Heat Map and and Air Quality, alongside the Precipitation Map.
