Night mode

After sunset, Weather Buddy changes to suit the evening. It switches back at sunrise.

What changes

• The background turns deep navy, with a field of stars. In the Playful and Hype vibes the stars twinkle (unless Reduce Motion is on).
• The sky panel on the Now card uses night colours.
• The rain strip covers the next 12 hours instead of running to sunset, so you'll see things like Dry tonight.
• The Laundry card talks about tomorrow.
• A Tonight card appears straight after the Now card.

The cards themselves stay light, so they're easy to read whatever your iPhone's appearance setting.

Night mode isn't Dark Mode

Night mode follows the sun, not your iPhone's appearance. With iOS Dark Mode on, the background goes dark during the day too, but the cards stay light and the advice is the same.

The Tonight card

• The moon, drawn at tonight's real phase, with a description such as Waxing crescent, 23% lit. The phase is worked out on your phone.
• A headline about the sky:
  • Clear sky and a full moon.
  • Clear sky tonight.
  • Some cloud tonight.
  • Cloudy tonight.
• Sunrise at 7:21am.

The Tonight card can't be hidden or moved, and only appears at night.
