Dark Sky can tell you at a glance exactly when it will rain (or snow) up to an hour in advance, so you're free to walk the dog or play another set of tennis and know you'll stay dry. You can also explore the most beautiful weather animation you've ever seen, both forward in time or back.
Using GPS, Dark Sky is able to create forecasts for your precise location. And because Dark Sky focuses on the next hour, we are able to give you minute-to-minute predictions.
The same technology that powers Dark Sky's predictions also allows us to make the world's first perfectly smooth radar animation. Other apps show you a chunky slideshow that makes it nearly impossible to tell how storms are moving. But Dark Sky's beautiful radar animation lets you see the actual path of the storm: how it moved in the past, and where it's going in the future.
