You can easily set up rain alerts on your iPhone — here’s how it works

IOS 18 Weather alerts on an iPhone.

Once you learn how to set up rain alerts in Apple’s Weather app, you might wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Getting notifications before a downpour gives you the chance to prepare—whether that means grabbing a raincoat or picking up an umbrella before heading out.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, though. The setting is tucked away within the app’s menu and Apple doesn't make it obvious, which is unfortunate because these notifications are really useful. They not only warn you about imminent rain, but also alert you to snow and severe weather.
