# Rain Viewer

> Real-time weather radar service. Tile pyramids regenerated every 5 minutes from NOAA, EUMETNET, and 1000+ regional radar feeds. Operating since 2018 with apps for iOS, Android, the web, and a public Weather Maps API.

Coverage spans 150+ countries through our own processing of public and partner radar networks. The product targets users who need precise local rain timing - storm chasers, severe-weather news desks, drone operators, agriculture, logistics - rather than 7-day forecasts. Updates land on the map roughly 2-5 minutes faster than competitors that re-host third-party tiles.
