One tap, and the rain at that precise spot tells its own story—showing intensity, precipitation type, cloud and air temperatures, and live national alerts, while making even the smallest rain pockets easy to identify and compare.

When every drop counts, so does every pixel.

We use professional radar networks and maintain the highest possible resolution, so you receive a detailed, real-time view you can genuinely act upon.

Street-Level Detail

We combine hundreds of radar images into a single map with up to 100-metre resolution. You can see precipitation down to individual streets, not just a general rain area across your city.

Instant Updates

Radar servers are polled every 2–5 minutes. Other apps often update every 30 minutes or less frequently. In rapidly changing storm conditions, that delay can make all the difference.

“gives me a heads-up before a storm hits, so I know to get my cats inside and cover my windscreen from trees and branches, etc. Great app – even the free version, but the quarterly subscription is well worth it.”

“Great weather app. It does its job well. Naturally, the paid plan offers more options and is better value. However, the free version is still very functional.”

“It displays with great precision… Once, it even showed a developing storm cell, and moments later the storm appeared.”
