It’s a short lived feature I loved having on Apollo as it made you feel more connected with the community you were lurking on as it would enable you to know the current weather conditions of the communities based on places.

      It was a feature introduced in the Apollo IOS 16 update that utilized the weather kit api to display weather status from city subreddits.

      Here’s an excerpt from Christian Stelig’s notes:

      Weather (Yeah!)

      Yeah that’s right, that vegetable app isn’t the only one that can do weather! If “Subreddit Weather” is enabled in Apollo, if you navigate to a city’s subreddit (like r/Toronto, r/Perth, r/London, r/Denver, r/SaoPaulo, etc.) at the top of the subreddit Apollo will now show you that city’s weather, as well as the current time at that location. It’s pretty cool, when visiting some subreddits I feel more in tune with what’s going on there now. This uses Apple’s new, really cool WeatherKit framework.
