RainAware

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.

• Deep customization

RainAware includes extensive settings so you can tune the app to your workflow.
