News Summary

The creators of the popular weather app Dark Sky, which was sold to Apple in 2020, have launched a new weather app called Acme Weather. This app aims to provide more accurate and reliable forecasts by using a mix of numerical weather prediction models, satellite data, ground station observations, and radar data. Acme Weather offers unique features such as multiple forecast lines to show possible weather outcomes and a variety of weather notifications, including alerts for rainbows and sunsets. The app is available on iOS, with an Android version planned, and costs $25 per year. Acme Weather is developed by a bootstrapped team that includes former Dark Sky members Adam Grossman, Josh Reyes, and Dan Abrutyn.
