To try this new feature, simply update to the latest app version, tap the circular button with curvy route line (bottom left of screen) and drag the slider on your route map.

Why it matters:

• Spot storms forming near your path, even if they’re not on it yet
• Understand how delays or detours could change your exposure to weather risks
• Get a clearer picture of rain or wind around your route, not just directly on it

By default, the app shows the weather radar for your planned departure time. But weather changes and so can your plans.

With the slider, you can now scroll forward in time to preview the predicted radar and wind patterns along your entire route, even if you haven’t left yet.

Next up: we're working on expanding coverage to more states and improving our winter road condition reports. More on that soon.

Apple Weather:

It’s definitely on the list for the future

That’s true, not at the moment

That’s exactly what we do :)

It’s available on iPhones and iPads, and we support CarPlay. We have also recently launched version 2.0 that adds weather on top of any other navigation app thanks to Dynamic Island

It can be used to plan your trip, pick the best time to leave and route to take and avoid running into nasty weather on route.

It takes into account the time it takes to travel to points along the route and provides weather, predicted storms, alerts, road surface conditions and more.
