WeatherKit airQuality mystery

When I fetch weather for my location and print the raw Weather response to the console, airQualityAvailability is set to available in availability. And alongside currentWeather, dailyForecast, hourlyForecast, and minuteForecast, there is also an airQuality object that contains a lot of information.

I cannot figure out how to access this data through dot notation on the Weather response, and I cannot find any mention of air quality data in the documentation.

How can I access this AQI information? Or is it planned but not yet officially accessible?

Best, Michael

Air quality is not one of the documented data sets in either the REST API or the native framework. It is probably best not to rely on it being there.

I have also been wondering about this, furthermore, I am also not able to get uvIndex to work either. Sorry I don't have a fix, just sharing that I too am experiencing this issue.

Where are you seeing this? Is this using the REST API?

  • I'm using WeatherKit itself, not the WeatherKit REST API.

    This call in particular:

    WeatherService().weather(for: CLLocation)

  • Hmm, I'm still not seeing it…which platform are you testing this on? I would love to have this information, and it sounds like I can probably use Mirror to extract it, but it doesn't seem to be present for me…

  • Playgrounds in the Xcode 14.0 beta (14A5228q):

    import WeatherKitimport CoreLocation

    let weatherService = WeatherService()let spaceNeedle = CLLocation(latitude: 47.62, longitude: -122.35)let weather = try! await weatherService.weather(for: spaceNeedle)

    print(String(describing: weather))
