There’re no denying that integrating a weather API into your news site can enhance the value of your site and benefit your audience and your business.

Dark Sky was a predictive weather app and API with to-the-minute precipitation predictions acquired by Apple. Learn about it here.

While the API will continue to be available for free with some limits, developers can now subscribe to increase the number of requests their apps can make to the WeatherKit API.

The Adafruit queries an online weather API to get the right sunrise time every day without requiring user intervention. The lamp can also be programmed to provide warm light during later hours.

WeatherKit is not an app itself — rather, it's an API (or a framework, in Apple lingo) that's meant to replace the Dark Sky API Apple has deprecated and is planning to kill off completely by 2023.

Verified gov or publicly owned services who tweet weather alerts, transport updates and emergency notifications may use the API, for these critical purposes, for free.
