You can set up the weather app to provide you with timely alerts or notifications on the weather so you can be ready for severe weather.
The iPhone Weather app has been getting better and better over time. But iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 were able to make a somewhat more extensive and better leap. Now, you can access weather maps, a weather widget on the home screen and lock screen, and severe weather warnings.
