I think it's great that it uses geolocation to give you the relevant current and future weather. However it still defaults to using Fahrenheit for temperature and mph for wind -- I realise I can switch temp to Celcius with the top right toggle, but it confused me initially and I thought it must be wrong (as it doesn't say the unit next to the temperature). I'd think if it knows where I am it could easily figure out whether I'm most likely to want to use Fahrenheit or Celcius, and mph or km/h.

Missed opportunity there!

I came here to say the same thing. I also had difficulty changing the units on a WP8 device this morning. Perhaps the setting is hidden?
seems like an easy fix, I would expect that to be available soon.
I hope so! :)
This is interesting. As I understand Dark Sky's original product, it is great for "right here right now" because they read live data from radar, but was not great for longer-term forecasting for the same reason. I wonder what has changed.
According to http://forecast.io/raw/ they are using "a wide range of data sources, which are aggregated together statistically to provide the most accurate forecast possible for a given location", not just their own data.
Compared with WeatherSpark, this looks more visually pleasing and doesn't use Flash, but I don't particularly care about weather elsewhere in the world and I miss WeatherSpark's line graphs. It'd be great to see something like http://forecast.io/raw/ on the "Time Machine" page.
Do have a look at the webapp on an iPhone. It is an extremely good webapp experience, feels native.
