The Apple Weather App on my 13 mini (iOS 16.5.1) shows temps for this weekend (Aug 25, 26, 27, 28, 2023) to be 5 degrees cooler than the WeatherChannel App. That is a significant difference. Why?? What to believe?

I’m going to Sierra City, Ca for a weekend. Apple Weather app shows 5 degrees cooler for the next 10 days. What’s up with that?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Hello,


Since you are on an iOS after iOS15.2 you are seeing a forecast from Apple Weather rather than The Weather Channel. In theory, this would be more precise location accurate as described below. When you are there, if the forecast is inaccurate you can help improve Apple Weather by reporting the actual conditions.

"Receive hyperlocal weather forecasts 

Apple Weather forecasts are hyperlocal, down to 0.001° of latitude and longitude. This resolution is used to generate a forecast for not just your town, but also your block. It can also notify you when precipitation will start, down to the minute.

You can even search and save your favorite locations. In the lower-right corner of the app, tap the location list button to start.

I hope this helps.
