We do not often track the weather, but if you recently planned a trip, you may want to check the conditions in your area.
However, the problem is, what if you want to stay connected with the latest weather changes all the time? It’s actually very difficult to check the weather app at frequent intervals, especially if you’re on vacation.
So, why not rely on the iPhone’s weather app to keep you updated on all weather changes?
Setting up Rain Alerts on iPhone
On iPhone, you can set up Rain alerts with the help of the Weather app. If you do so, you won’t have to keep checking your weather app at regular intervals to know whether it will rain soon.
When the weather changes in your area, the Weather app on your iPhone will send you a notification. The app can even notify you of rain or severe weather ahead of time.
