How Dark Sky works

Using GPS, Dark Sky is able to create forecasts for your precise location, giving you minute-by-minute predictions for the next hour and also a comprehensive forecast coverage for the next day and week. This will assist you to keep abreast with the ever-dynamic weather conditions. The same technology that powers Dark Sky’s predictions also allows you to make the world’s first-ever smooth radar animation. This is unlike other apps which only show you a chunk of slideshows, which make it nearly impossible to tell how storms are moving. But Dark Sky’s radar animation lets you see the actual path of the storm i.e. how it moved in the past, and where it’s going in the future.
