WeatherKit Historical Data

Hi,

We have been using DarkSky's API for a few years now and we've always been able to pull data for at least 3 years prior to the current date.

With WeatherKit, we are seeing that data is only available for the last 2 years. I've seen a few posts confirming this, but I'm curious if we will always be limited to 2 years of data or if this is a temporary situation and as time goes on, WeatherKit will have more and more historical data available? Another way to put it is will Apple always delete any data older than 2 years or will they start to build up an archive so in 10 years from now, they will have 12 total years of data (given they have 2 years right now).

Thanks!

At launch in 2022 WeatherKit supported history back to Aug 1, 2021. A year later we continue to offer history back to Aug 1, 2021. It is not a rolling window.
