Pavel Jelic If you own a Mac, you probably know that the Weather application was not available on it until now. This is finally changing with the arrival of the new macOS 13 Ventura, which Apple presented alongside iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and watchOS 9 at this year's WWDC developer conference. The new Apple Weather looks really cool and users will find all the weather information they could ever need. Mainly thanks to the acquisition of Dark Sky, which took place a few years ago, Weather in the new systems also received many improvements related to displayed information. Let's look together in this article at 5 news in Weather from macOS 13 that you can look forward to.

So just tap on in the upper left corner of the Weather application window sidebar icon, which shows or hides the list of places.
Useful maps
As I mentioned in the introduction, mainly thanks to the acquisition of Dark Sky, which was one of the best weather apps in its time, the native Weather now offers a myriad of useful detailed information. In addition to this information, however, there are also maps with information on precipitation, temperature and air quality. To view these maps, just go to specific place where then click in the tile with the small map. This will bring you to the full map interface.

Weather warnings
Especially in times of extreme weather, i.e. for example in summer, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute issues various weather warnings, for example for extremely high temperatures or fires, or for strong thunderstorms or torrential rain, etc. The good news is that in the event of a warning being issued before the weather, it will also be displayed in the native Weather application. If an alert is available for a location, it will appear right at the top, in the tile named Extreme weather. Po tapping the alert your web browser will open all active alerts for a specific location, if there are more than one at a time.

Alert notification settings
On the previous page, we talked more about the weather alerts that can appear in the native Weather app. However, most of us do not open Weather every few minutes, but only a few times a day, so it may happen that we simply miss a weather warning, or we may not notice it in time. However, in macOS 13 Ventura and other new systems, there is a new function in Weather that allows you to be alerted to alerts via a notification. To turn it on on a Mac, just tap on the top bar in Weather Weather → Settings… A warning is enough here by ticking fields Extreme weather u current location or u activate selected locations. It should be mentioned that the hourly precipitation forecast is not available in the Czech Republic.
