Your weather app, now with Radar and Apple Watch App
Rainy Skies is an indie iOS weather app designed by a solo developer based on the foundation of the now defunct Dark Sky weather app. Rainy Skies now supports radar and has an Apple Watch app with widgets and complications.
Rainy Skies includes an AI chat feature on Apple Intelligence-enabled devices that answers questions about upcoming weather conditions. Users can ask natural language questions about forecasts rather than navigating menus, making weather lookup faster and more intuitive.
Rainy Skies works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch with synced settings across devices. Users can view weather on their wrist via Apple Watch complications and widgets, access radar on iPad/Mac, and maintain consistent preferences across all platforms without manual reconfiguration.
Rainy Skies offers customizable threshold-based notifications for UV Index, wind gusts, temperature, and precipitation. Users can set alerts when conditions cross specific values (e.g., UV above 7, wind gusts at 40mph) and choose whether notifications appear always or only when thresholds are exceeded. Daily summaries are also customizable with wind, UV, and other metrics.
Rainy Skies offers hourly, daily, and combined hourly+daily chart widgets plus Apple Watch complications. Silver subscription unlocks faster refresh rates and additional widget options. Users can customize which data types appear in widgets and choose from multiple visualization styles to suit their monitoring needs.
Rainy Skies displays weather with an efficient, clean design inspired by the discontinued Dark Sky app. Users see current conditions, hourly forecasts, and daily summaries with color-coded visual indicators (blue for rain, gray for clouds, yellow/purple for clear conditions) that communicate weather patterns instantly without information overload.
