Rain you can plan around — and a watch rebuilt around it. • HOW MUCH, NOT JUST HOW LIKELY. A 90% chance of 0.8 mm is a near-certain nothing; a 30% chance of 20 mm is the day worth moving plans for. Sky Warden now reads the two together and lets the ANSWER decide how loud a day looks. In the 7-day view only the days with real rain carry a stripe and a colour; the rest step back. The millimetres sit beside the chance at a size you don't have to lean in for. • THE SCENE STOPS EXAGGERATING. Rain falling on the house now scales with the amount, not the chance — a drizzle is a drizzle and a trace draws nothing at all. The scene and the forecast beneath it finally agree. • MORE HONEST RAINFALL. Sources that publish no volume were being counted as forecasting none, and observed rainfall — rain that had already fallen — was being averaged in as though it were a forecast. Both fixed. In inches, a trace reads as under a hundredth rather than a flat "0.00 in". • APPLE WATCH, REBUILT AROUND THE VOLUME. The hour and week lists lead with the millimetres and a pill that makes a wet hour findable without reading every row. Twelve hours means twelve hours — the bar used to stop at midnight and shrink to a sliver by bedtime, hiding rain due overnight. Range ends, day letters and warnings are all legible at arm's length now. • ONE DISCREET NOTICE ON THE WRIST. A small badge beside the location — red only for an emergency, amber for watch-and-act, slate for advice — opens Today: your warnings, the best window to be outside, source agreement, the rain total, UV and wind, plus the same alerts your phone is showing. • TAP THE ARROW FOR WHERE YOU ARE. The watch can take its own fix and refetch for there, naming the place itself — so a watch that travelled without its phone stops reporting your weather under the wrong suburb. • ELEVEN COMPLICATIONS, HONESTLY NAMED. "Rain chance" and "How much rain" are different questions and now say so. New: today's low and high at the ends of the arc; rainfall as the headline; and a split dial with temperature climbing the left and rain falling down the right. The temperature dial answers the only question people ask it — NAH, MEH or YUP — and it decides by expected millimetres, not by chance. • THE HOUSE DRESSES FOR THE OCCASION. Near Halloween, a carved face glows in the window and a pumpkin sits by the steps. More through the year.

Sky Warden on your wrist, rebuilt — and a fix. • FIXED: the hour-by-hour panels for temperature, rain and wind couldn't be closed. The close button now works, on Home, Simpler and Details. • APPLE WATCH, REDESIGNED. The main screen now leads with anything wrong, the temperature, the day in a sentence, the shape of the next twelve hours, and three readings. Scroll for where each measure sits inside today's own low and high, and the week ahead. • SEVERE WARNINGS REACH THE WATCH. A cyclone or emergency warning takes the top of the screen and turns the temperature red — and tapping it opens the detail. • THE TEMPERATURE IS COLOURED BY RAIN: white on a dry day, deepening blue as rain becomes more likely, so the number itself carries the forecast. • WATCH FACE. The temperature complication now shows rain in its colour, says when the rain starts or stops ("RAIN 3pm", "DRY 6pm"), and shows a warning when one is active. A new "Temperature · rain ring" complication fills its ring with the day's rain instead of the temperature range — both are in the gallery, pick the one you want. • A GARDEN REMINDER. When it hasn't rained for three days and none is coming for two, Sky Warden says it's worth watering, and shows the dry spell behind it.

Sky Warden on iPad is rebuilt around the bigger screen. • HOME is a command center — the headline reading with a 12-hour comfort ribbon, cards for what's actually happening (cyclone, aurora, king tide, best window, plans at risk, air), and every everyday reading on one band: sunrise, sunset, golden hour, moon, next tide, sea, humidity, pressure trend, UV. • NEW LIVE TAB — the house, the water and the sky overhead, full canvas. • DETAILS draws temperature, rain, wind and UV on one shared 24-hour axis. Drag anywhere to read every metric at the same hour. • TIDES shows seven days of curve with the moon track beneath it, so you can see why the tides swell and ease. • MAP keeps the hazards beside the canvas — tap a cyclone and the map stays put. • PLANS lays the week out as a grid, weather-lit, with at-risk events on the day they fall. • SIMPLER becomes a kiosk view you can read from across the room. • WHO'S RIGHT HERE — Sky Warden's blend now competes in a ranked accuracy table against the models, measured against the nearest thermometer to you. iPhone is unchanged.

A big global update. • Aurora forecast, in the Sky tab — an honest, location-aware read on whether the northern or southern lights are on the cards tonight, from live NOAA space-weather (and whether your sky even gets dark enough to see them). • King tides — know when the year's highest tides are coming, with the water brought to life right in the scene. • Worldwide hazard warnings — tropical cyclones, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes and wildfires anywhere on Earth, with a cyclone's forecast track and closest approach to you, plus a global flood outlook. Tap any warning for the detail — a live cyclone track map, or the river-discharge chart behind a flood. • Smarter activities — a cyclone, flood or king tide now shapes what's a good idea today. Plus refinements and fixes throughout.

Big iPad update • A new command-center Home brings your warnings, the full 7-day week, today's activities and plans-at-risk into one view. • A living sky scene in the sidebar — tap it to see the sky overhead, full-screen. • Roomier, multi-column layouts made for the larger display. New — Aurora forecast in the Sky tab: an honest, location-aware read on whether the northern or southern lights are on the cards tonight, from live NOAA space-weather data. Fixes: Fahrenheit now applies everywhere (including the 5-day outlook), plus refinements and stability improvements.

• Apple Watch complications now follow your °C/°F and wind-speed settings — they could still show Celsius for some. • More accurate source agreement (and best-time-to-go) for locations in a different time zone from your device. • Display polish: widget wind units, temperature labels, and 24-hour clock times.

Now runs full-screen natively on iPad — no more cropped phone view. Also fixes temperature and wind-speed units in the widgets and on Apple Watch — they now follow your °C/°F and wind settings instead of always showing metric. Plus tide reliability improvements and behind-the-scenes fixes.

You can now remove ads with a one-time purchase — thanks for supporting Sky Warden. Plus reliability improvements to tides and behind-the-scenes fixes.

The living home scene got livelier — a big glanceable clock over the day, gulls and bats passing through, a fuller wavy sea, and the readings walk through the day as it plays. People's Weather: when rain arrives we'll ask if it's really raining where you are, gather what everyone nearby is seeing into “what others are saying”, and show the crowd alongside the models on the accuracy scoreboard. A rebuilt Apple Watch app — a bigger living scene, hour-by-hour and a 7-day outlook, sun and moon rise/set, important warnings, a cleaner temperature complication, and it now updates on its own when your iPhone isn't nearby. Sun and moon share one rise-to-set timeline, the map carries your full readings on the scrubber, and severe-weather warnings are a clearer red hazard pill with the local emergency number.

A living home scene: the sky, sea, rain and wind now move through the day, and the readings below follow along as it plays. Rebuilt rain map: scrub back through the radar and on into a smooth forecast overlay for the hours ahead — it loads reliably and plays as soon as you open it. Tonight's Sky now sweeps a full 24 hours on the horizon view. Clearer comfort colours, so a cold or wet day reads at a glance. Fixed a startup hang while finding your location, plus assorted polish.

Sky Warden 1.3 — plan your time outside, not just your umbrella. • Activities: a ranked list of what today actually suits — a run, a paddle, a kite, fishing — each with the best time of day and the conditions it likes. Hide the ones you don't do. • Holidays & long weekends ahead, with the weather that's coming: a real forecast when it's near, honest typical-weather from years of history when it's far off. • Sky events now show viewing conditions (cloud + moon), so you know when it's worth looking up. • A live, illustrated Scene that mirrors your sky — tide, swell, wind, sun and moon, in the location's own local time. • Home-screen and lock-screen widgets, plus a refreshed Apple Watch app. • Emergency numbers for your area, shown right in a severe-weather warning. • Severe-weather warnings now cover the United States (National Weather Service) alongside Australia. • Plus many accuracy and polish fixes. As always: several forecasts reconciled, and honest about where they disagree.

New: an Apple Watch app and arc based complications, with a new paged apple watch application (scene → metrics → hours), New: "best time to be outside" - moved from a separate overlay to a discreet pill Tides inland revert to an inland scene where tide reporting is not relevant. Map timeline label issues are now fixed We've needed to introduce a discreet set of advertising to keep our app running, but it wont disrupt the primary weather tabs

Apple Watch app and complications - the temperature, where it sits in today's range, and how much the forecast sources agree, on your wrist. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, built around the same temperature arc. Best time to be outside - the best two-hour window in the next three days, with how much the sources back it. If the sources can't be reached, the last forecast now stays on screen, dated, instead of an error. Fixes to the radar timeline labels and to source reliability.
