This news should come as a shock to no one-Apple has been quite clear that Dark Sky was on borrowed time-but it does mean that Dark Sky fans will need to find an alternative by the end of the year. Apple’s new WeatherKit API allows developers to integrate Apple Weather forecast data into their apps. The Dark Sky API and website will hold on a few more months, until 31 March 2023, possibly to allow all of Dark Sky’s contracts to sunset. Now Apple has announced that the Dark Sky iOS app will cease to be available and will no longer provide weather data as of 1 January 2023. It took a little longer than anticipated for Dark Sky’s core features to migrate to Apple’s bundled Weather app, but at least some of them did last year (see “ Weather in iOS 15 Gains Precipitation Notifications (But Do They Work Reliably?),” 17 November 2021).
