Rain Radar live map with rain and snow layer

Watch precipitation instead of guessing from a percentage.

A normal weather forecast can tell you there is a chance of rain. Rain Radar shows the moving map: where rain is forming, which direction it is traveling, and whether the stronger part of the system is moving toward your area.

The app is useful when timing matters: a commute, a walk, outdoor work, school pickup, a delivery route or a weekend plan that depends on a break in the rain.

Rain Radar keeps rain maps, snow radar, lightning activity and storm movement close to the main map. That makes it faster to read than a full forecast app when your main question is whether precipitation is about to hit.

For a broader daily forecast, use Weather Now. For the focused radar experience, use Rain Radar.

Best for fast rain and storm checks.

Open Rain Radar when you do not need a long forecast, but you do need to know what the rain map is doing now.

Before leaving

Check if a shower is close enough to wait a few minutes.

During storms

Follow heavier rain cores and lightning activity on the map.

Winter weather

Use snow radar layers when rain changes to mixed precipitation.
