Options to customize the types of weather alerts you wish to receive.

How to Enable Weather Notifications on iPhone?

First, ensure you have the Weather app installed. Go to Settings on your iPhone:

Scroll to and tap Notifications.
Locate the Weather app.
Toggle on Allow Notifications.
Below, you can specify your alert types, including options like Severe Weather and Next-Hour Precipitation.
Make sure to personalize the alert styles and sounds according to your preference.

How to Group Weather Alerts on iPhone by Location?

After configuring your notifications, iOS will automatically group related weather notifications in the Notification Center. This means that alerts for thunderstorms in your area will be bundled together, making it easy to review. Here’s how it works:

Each time a new alert comes in, it gets added to the existing group related to that location.
You can swipe down on the notification list to expand and collapse alerts as needed.

Can a Weather App Group Alerts for Multiple Saved Locations on iPhone?

Yes, multiple weather apps, including Clime, allow you to group alerts for saved locations. In Clime:

You can save several locations to receive weather updates and alerts.
Clime pushes notifications specific to those locations, giving you timely alerts based on severe weather conditions.

Difference Between System Notification Grouping and App-Level Grouping on iPhone

System notification grouping automatically combines alerts from enabled apps in one place. App-level grouping, like that in Clime, enhances user experience through tailored alerts:

System-level: Provides a basic grouping function through your iPhone settings.
App-level (like Clime): Enables more nuanced control over what alerts you receive based on specific conditions such as location and severity.
