RainViewer: Live Weather Radar

Live weather radar, nowcast and rain alerts, hyperlocal forecast and hurricane tracker, built to help you see, understand, and act on rain before it changes.

Tracking a hurricane's path, watching a storm build, or just checking if it's dry enough for a walk? RainViewer shows the actual rain on the map. Data reaches your screen in seconds, direct from the radar source, not a third-party feed. 10 million downloads of people rely on RainViewer for live radar.

RADAR WINS THE MAP SCREEN
Built with Apple's Liquid Glass design, the map screen now has fewer buttons and more room for the radar. A new layer indicator on the map shows Radar, Satellite, Forecast, Temperature, Rainfall Totals (QPE), Radar + Satellite. Fullscreen mode clears the interface for a clean screenshot or a beautiful screencast of a storm animation.

For anyone whose day depends on the next hour of rain.
