Sorry to say – the Dark Sky API will shut down end of March next year[0].

Apple recommends switching to WeatherKit's API. It is not free, requiring a paid Developer Program membership, which is $99/year.[1] That includes 500k API calls/mo.

On that linked WeatherKit page, they include a DarkSky migration guide. There are fields that are no longer being offered. (The fact that `temperatureHigh` doesn't have an analog makes me wonder if the table isn't telling the full story)

I use the Dark Sky API on a weather site that I have been running since 2014. Thinking of switching over to Openweathermap, but would welcome other suggestions if anyone is in the same situation.
