I’ve been using iOS 5 for a few months and I never noticed a change to Apple’s built-in Weather app. A friend sent me an iMessage this morning and asked if the hourly was new. Sure enough, there it is.

It’s a handy little addition to the app, especially if the weather is going to change. Typically the Weather forecast will just show rain, but you don’t know when it’s going to start. Now you do.

It’s also important to note that the app knows where you are automatically now, so you don’t need to enter in a specific city or place to get the weather. If you’re there, it knows.
