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.

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.

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.
