We’ve seen how complex weather apps have become over the years. Did you ever see how many weather apps are available in the App Store or the Google Play Store? In the past, you could get by with one weather app, but now you need one for your region and at least another for hyper-local forecasts. Some weather apps will include a radar to help you get a better idea about precipitation in your area, and there are the big names that have been around forever such as The Weather Channel and AccuWeather.
Apple’s native weather app has improved greatly over the years
Apple’s native weather app overs plenty of vital data, graphs, and information
You can learn more information about the Air Quality where you live by tapping the Air Quality heading in the native weather app. Tapping the heading will show you a map with the Air Quality Index (AQI) in your area and will compare the current reading with the previous day’s number. It will also give you data about pollutants such as noting that Ozone is typically elevated due to traffic, fossil fuel combustion, and fires and can be transported far distances.
How to find more information from the iOS and iPadOS 17 native weather app
Tapping on the heading of any of the individual headings in the native weather app will give you more information about that category. The headings include:
- Visibility
- Humidity
- Pressure
- Feels Like
- Wind
- Sunrise/Sunset
- Averages (Temperature/Precipitation)
- UV Index
- Moon
As we said, tapping on any one of these headings shows you beautifully done graphs and historical information. One of the most useful is the data you see when you tap the Averages heading and have the page on temperature. You can see a graph that shows the average high and low temperature for each month in the city that you’re looking up.
If you tap under the Moon heading, not only do you see a gorgeous image of what the current phase of the moon looks like, but a calendar shows you which phase the moon will be in for every day of the current month along with the dates for the New Moon and the Full Moon.
