What are severe weather alerts?

As the name suggests, the Weather app on iPhone and iPad will notify you if a severe, emergency, or bad weather alert is issued near you. This includes real-time notifications for precipitation, rain storms, tornados, hurricanes, flash floods, heat waves, and more. However, the feature is not available in all countries and regions. As of writing, it was available for:

United States Canada Mexico Australia India Japan China Brazil Thailand Most countries and regions in Europe

Remember, you can turn on these alerts for your current and favored locations.

How to turn on weather alerts for your location on iPhone or iPad

To turn on severe weather alerts in the Weather app, you must follow a two-step process. You must first allow the app to access your location and then toggle on notifications.

1. Enable location access

2. Enable notifications in Weather app

Now, you’ll get live notification updates for different weather conditions supported in your region.

Enable weather notifications for other locations

To disable weather notification of your location or other locations in your weather list, repeat the above steps, toggle off, and tap Done. Conclusion! While Apple still has a long way to compete with other third-party weather forecasting apps exist; I’ll take these smaller victories for now. At least we got a weather app on iPad for the first time in 12 years. I suggest you don’t let the Weather app sit there doing nothing. Instead, enable the severe weather alerts to exercise its muscle and let Apple know that’s it on the right track. Have more queries or ideas to share?
