We’re bringing the sky onto the glass: rain that beads and runs, storms that flash from inside the clouds, and winter scenes that gather as the weather continues.
These early captures show the direction: full drops, reflections, trails, pooling and a living glass surface. The effect stays behind the information, so the forecast remains clear.
Large drops catch the light, merge as they travel and follow the surface instead of floating over the forecast. Tilt the phone and the water follows the new slope, gathering and releasing with the glass.
Rain recedes into the background while the cards stay legible, with water gathering below the full scroll view. Tilt the phone to slosh the puddle and redirect the runoff in real time.
A first look at the denser Blizzard scene: flakes cross the full view while snow begins to gather on the glass.
Each active warning stays on the Lock Screen with the person it’s for, how severe it is, when it expires and which way the storm is heading, with a countdown that keeps running.
WeatherAlarm is coming to Apple Watch. When a warning is heading toward someone you love, you’ll know with a glance at your wrist.
Weather on the glass is only one part of this release. Here’s the full set of improvements called out in the app.
Rain beads and runs down the cards, storms flash with lightning, snow piles up, and clear skies follow the real sun.
Rain runs the way you lean it, water pools at the bottom of the page, and snow has a rollable snowball in the drift.
Preview rain, storm, snow, blizzard, sunny, clear night and cloudy scenes from Settings whenever you want.
On iPhone, Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings can stay in Live Activities and the Dynamic Island with the person, severity and countdown kept current.
The hero and roster lead with what matters most: an active warning, today’s storm window, or genuinely clear conditions.
Plain-language severity names now follow a warning from the notification into the app, without changing when you tap through.
When a location is under an active Tornado or Severe Thunderstorm Warning, the icon and sky match the danger instead of the forecast text.
The recap waits until the storm is over and folds power outage information into one clear card instead of two.
The Map loads quicker, stays smoother while panning and zooming, and is easier on the battery during an active storm.
Power outage information is more accurate, including fixes for cases where utility numbers did not add up or showed no outage incorrectly.
Rain is the first chapter. We’re building the same level of detail into winter and every other atmosphere, with more captures and screenshots to come.
The first Blizzard preview is now above. Next come the close-up details: flakes with different weight, wind-driven accumulation, card-top deposits and a snowball that gathers the snow it rolls over.
Cloudy, sunny, calm night, partly cloudy and windy scenes will each get their own material, light and movement. We’ll add live screenshots and video as each one is ready.
WeatherAlarm is free, with no ads and no subscription. Add the people and places that matter, then let the app keep watch.
