WeatherKit data is used by the Weather app on iPhone and iPad (yes, the Weather app is coming to iPad), which is also why the Dark Sky app on Apple devices <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.darksky.net\/\">will be discontinued on December 3<\/a>1. Importantly, Apple won\u2019t be keeping the weather data to itself \u2014 developers of third-party apps can pay for access.<\/p>\n<p>The developer page for WeatherKit says, \u201cWeatherKit is powered by the all-new Apple Weather service, a state-of-the-art global weather forecast that provides all of the data you need to power your app with timely, hyperlocal weather information. This enables your app to offer current weather conditions and 10-day hourly forecasts for temperature, precipitation, wind, UV Index, and more. Minute-by-minute precipitation for the next hour and severe weather alerts are available for select regions.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WeatherKit is pretty cool!

That opens the door for developers to create Dark Sky-like apps for Android, Windows, and other platforms. App developers still have to pay up for access, but <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/weatherkit\/get-started\/\">pricing seems reasonable<\/a> \u2014 an app can make 1 million data requests per month for $49.99\/mo, on top of the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/support\/compare-memberships\/\">$99\/yr Apple Developer Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping we\u2019ll start to see more cross-platform weather apps using Apple Weather.
