I don't like it, it's another exercise in taking a functional website and 'modernising' it by making it look like a mobile app (i.e. the make it look attractive to kindergarten kids school of design).

For my own use cases it's made it more annoying to get to the 7 day Canberra forecast, made the local radar harder to see, and I'm not noticing a link to the written ACT region forecast which I will want to look at in winter.

The data source for Apple Weather is the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology.

Also, perhaps have another look at how to use a semicolon properly next time you want to badmouth highly-educated public servants.

    I agree with WhatAmLenny. It might use the same data source but the way information is presented is a lot more usable. Case in point - when it’s going to rain, it gives you a pretty accurate “rain is going to start in x minutes” and a graph of how heavy it will be.

    It’s not just about the raw data but how people consume it.
