WeatherKit 3.1 just hit the App Store, and whilst it’s a small-ish update, it’s got a feature that I’ve been waiting to see. In this quick piece, I’ll briefly go over them. I’ll also go over some additions in WeatherKit 3.0.4 which dropped earlier in the week too.

Hourly Forecasts

In WeatherKit 3.1 we finally get hourly forecasts. It fits in perfectly with the forecast card and it shows you a really quick overview of the whole day. I really like the way it sits in the card view, and not beneath the big forecast as I think it’d look a bit cluttered.

One thing that would make this feature near perfect would be to have a small weather icon predicted weather of the hour, like the stock iOS weather app does, along with the temp. That would be great.

Just had a word with the developer, and a rain icon does appear when the precipitation chance is over 40%.

Finally, WeatherKit 3.0.4

WeatherKit 3.0.4 was released earlier in the week, around the opening keynote of WWDC.

There wasn’t really anything too big released in this update, apart from a new icon which looks fantastic. Styled similarly to the new WWDC app icon, which is equally as good looking, this is a great addition to have.

It’s really cool to see that in between big feature updates, the developers are still dropping little updates to keep us occupied.
