Weather mini 3.6 is now available.

This update adds local weather sources in supported regions, makes the app nearly half the size, and brings a series of improvements across Weather mini.

Regional Weather, Closer to Home

Sometimes the weather source you know best is the one closest to home. Weather mini 3.6 can now add data from local weather agencies to your forecast:

  • Canada: Environment and Climate Change Canada / Meteorological Service of Canada
  • Germany: Deutscher Wetterdienst
  • United States: NOAA / National Weather Service

Turn on Regional Weather in settings, and Weather mini automatically matches each location with an available local source. There is nothing else to set up, even when you travel.

Turn it on once, and Weather mini takes care of the rest.

It works everywhere you use Weather mini: cities, Trip Forecasts, widgets, Apple Watch, notifications, Morning Brief, and Evening Forecast.

Apple Weather remains the main source. When local data is not available, Weather mini simply continues with Apple Weather as usual.

Regional Weather is included with Weather mini Plus.

Weather mini has its own city search. Until now, its large catalog of places lived mostly inside the app, adding weight to every download and update.

In 3.6, common searches still happen locally. Wider searches automatically continue through our cloud search on Cloudflare’s global CDN. You search exactly as before, but Weather mini is now nearly half the size.

City matching is also more consistent for places with similar names or nearby locations.

Better Trip Planning

Trip Forecasts are easier to update. Change a destination or date, and Weather mini refreshes the plan more reliably while keeping the existing forecast visible.

Apple Intelligence also understands dates and trip lengths more reliably. If you do not mention a duration, Weather mini starts with a three-day plan that you can adjust.

More Reliable on Apple Watch

Weather mini 3.6 makes the Watch app, widgets, and complications more dependable. They stay in step more consistently and can keep showing recent weather when a new update takes longer than expected.

When you raise your wrist, the weather should simply be there.

Weather That Stays in Sync

We also improved background updates, helping notifications and daily summaries stay with the right city and keeping weather more consistent across the app, widgets, notifications, and Apple Watch.

It is the kind of change you should not need to notice. The right forecast should simply be ready where you expect it.

Available Now

Weather mini 3.6 is available now as a free update. Regional weather from local sources is included with Weather mini Plus; the smaller app, city search improvements, and reliability updates benefit everyone.
