Adam Kos Apple has offered the Weather app in its iOS system since its first versions. Since then, of course, the functions provided have gradually developed, as has the interface itself. Certainly the biggest step was the purchase of DarkSky in 2020, when Apple incorporated some functions of the original title into the version in iOS 15. But there is still something that is missing not only for Czech users.
In the App Store you will find a real number of titles that can inform you about current and future weather. After all, here you will also find a separate category that includes only weather applications. However, Apple's native Weather is quite successful and can certainly be considered a full-fledged source of information. But if it could still send notifications. So you can turn them on, but there is one problem.

The application can now display extreme weather warnings.

Weather already includes Notifications settings
The application can therefore inform about emergencies, but so far it only distributes in Ireland, Great Britain and the USA. In addition, nothing is known about the expansion of this feature, so it is questionable whether we will ever see it. So we have no choice but to always manually check if we can encounter any abnormalities on our travels when we leave the comfort of home. This has considerable potential in the field of travel.

The separate application of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute contains a weather forecast for the Czech Republic with a resolution of up to one kilometer, warnings against dangerous phenomena and a forecast of tick activity. The weather forecast can be displayed for the current location as well as for locations selected and saved by the user (typically villages).
The warnings here show an overview of the warnings issued by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. For the territory of each municipality with extended scope, an overview of those valid for its territory is available with a brief description and the time of the warning. Warnings are issued for temperature extremes, strong winds, snow phenomena, icing phenomena, storm phenomena, rainfall, flood phenomena, fires, fog and air pollution.
