Know exactly when rain will start and stop at your location. RainAware, the original hyperlocal rain app with RainClock, push alerts, live radar, satellite, lightning & storm tracking.
***** INCLUDED IN THE STANDARD VERSION *****
• Rain Clock
See rain timing for your location up to 3 hours ahead.
Example: “Rain starts in 1 hr 30 min and ends at 4:30 PM.”
Background images match the weather outside.
• Alerts & notifications
Get notified when rain is coming or ending, or when severe weather threatens.
Customize alert timing, rain-duration thresholds, proximity settings, and alert frequency.
• Regional radar, satellite, and 1-hour precipitation
View live weather imagery over a regional domain, then move the domain anywhere to inspect weather there.
• Watches, warnings, and advisories
View active hazards including severe storms, floods, winter weather, wind, fire, marine alerts, and more.
• Weather map overlays
Analyze the map with overlays for surface observations, lightning, hurricane tracks, storm reports, moving ship observations, and more.
• Landscape mode & fast looping
Use landscape mode for a larger map with extra pan and zoom controls. Long-press to burst-loop imagery faster and spot trends.
• Current conditions ticker
Cycles through the nearest surface observation and also shows nearby lightning, precipitation, and storm reports when relevant. Tap icons to jump to the location.
• Interactive graphs
View 36-hour trend graphs for temperature, wind, cloud cover, precipitation amount and type.
• Forecast Clock
See the next 8 days in a concise Today/Tonight format, including sunrise, sunset, and moon phase.
• Site lists
Quickly check weather for nearby cities, airports, ballparks, speedways, golf courses, and more. Stadium views include wind direction for in, out, or across-field awareness.
• Drawing tools
Draw on the map, add text, overlay it on weather imagery, and share.
• Weather badges
Badges show when rapid changes in rain, temperature, clouds, or wind are forecast. Configurable.
