Farewell to Dark Sky, which didn't keep us dry, but forever changed the way we get our forecasts. By Russell Jacobs. Dec 29, 2022 ...

Stay out of the way of the blue part, and I was dry. Apple, in other words, is looking to become a provider of weather data rather than a customer of those services. [Tiny Face](https://jackadam.github.io/2011/how-small-can-you-make-your-stupid-face/), an app designed to scientifically measure how small someone could make their face), AccuWeather’s team has more than 100 meteorologists who interpret and explain the output of the weather forecasting models. But Dark Sky was there when a storm showed up on the horizon: It was the easiest way I knew of to find out what its shape was and infer how long a coming downpour would last. I can make a difference with the complex systems.” Dark Sky fell short of that. Blum’s book excavates the forecast, layer by layer, to put together a picture of how the various components come together to do something seemingly impossible. During its run, it built up a loyal following of people who used it to keep ahead of the weather day to day, hour to hour, and even minute to minute. The real-time radar feature let me know in seconds whether a front was spread out across multiple state lines or a thin band of rain that would pass over quickly. Once, ahead of a trip in a boat, its forecast failed to predict an impending microburst—an extreme, hyperlocalized weather system—and I got stuck on the water in 40 knots of wind with two people’s lives in my hands. The app’s standout was the radar map that allowed users to watch storms—rendered in electric blue and neon magenta—wash across their localities in real time. You name it, and I’ve had it ruined by the siren song of that neon map. At the end of this year, Dark Sky—the popular, sleek, sometimes accurate weather app—will go dark, its various components ambiguously incorporated into Apple’s revamped weather forecasting tool.
