Yesterday the first beta for iOS 14.5 developers was launched and it brings very interesting features such as the ability to unlock an iPhone with a mask thanks to the Apple Watch. Precisely because it is so loaded with changes, there are some functions that have been eclipsed and precisely in this article we will talk about a small function within the Time app that has gone unnoticed and that, at least for now, is only available in some countries .
iOS 14.5 rain alerts
We do not know if as a test or as something definitive, but at the moment only in the United Kingdom and Ireland a new functionality has been implemented within the native Time application. Function that was already in the United States for a few months and that lies in offering the rain forecast for the next hour , either simply in the widget or below the temperature, or in more detail by entering the application. This is something that some other weather applications for iPhone already incorporated, but not the native one.

Already in previous versions, some new features had been added to this application, such as some weather forecasts depending on the places. However, these reached a large part of the world and therefore strange that the rainfall is only found in three countries. It is true that in British countries rainy weather is more common, but still it is still strange.
Keep in mind that this functionality is after all in beta version like everything else in iOS 14.5, so it would not be strange if it ended up reaching the rest of the territories, nor would it be unreasonable for them to end up scorning it. However, the latter seems unlikely since it is not something that exceeds either, although it is not extended to all users.
When can you have this version?
If you are not a developer, you will have to wait a few weeks to install iOS 14.5 on your iPhone. As usual, Apple does not indicate dates for software updates. However, you only have to take a look at its history to calculate an approximate idea of its calendar and in this case we would find mid-March as the most possible release date of the final versions of this iOS 14.5 accompanied by the rest ( iPadOS 14.5, watchOS 7.4, tvOS 14.5, and macOS 11.3). Until that moment, new versions will be released for developers that, except for surprise, would be every 1-2 weeks. This has always been the case with the exception of those of iOS 14.4 that had the Christmas period in between, but this time we do not find holiday periods in the most immediate sight.
If you can’t hold out and want to try it now, we recommend you take a look at the post in which we tell you how to install a beta on the iPhone. Although we recommend you think about it before, since any beta can generate some instability in the device, forcing errors such as sudden closings of applications, unexpected reboots of the iPhone and some other very typical bug in these versions that are not yet focused on the end user .
