| Description | What Dark Sky is... 1) An accurate short-term weather predictor. Dark Sky is an app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch that predicts the weather. Using your precise location, it tells you when it will precipitate and for how long. For example: It might tell you that it will start raining in 8 minutes, with the rain lasting for 15 minutes followed by a 25 minute break. How is it possible predict the weather down to the minute? What's the catch? Well, the catch is that it only works over a short period of time: a half hour to an hour in the future. But, as it turns out, this timespan is crucially important. Our lives are filled with short-term outdoor activities: Travelling to and from work, walking the dog, lunch with friends, outdoor sports, etc. |
