UAE Nowcast

Will it rain here in the next hour? UAE Nowcast answers in one line, for your location or any spot you tap. And when it is dry, it is a full weather and sea app for the UAE.

RAIN FIRST
The latest radar from the UAE National Center of Meteorology, every 5 minutes. Seven nowcast models play the rain forward for the next hour: "Moderate rain in ~15 min", "Easing in 10 min", or "No rain expected this hour". Storm cells, motion and rain alerts before rain reaches you. When rain is within 50 km, the app opens straight to the radar.

WEATHER
Map layers for the next 5 days from the ECMWF model: temperature, animated wind, gusts, rain, clouds, thunderstorm energy, humidity and pressure. Tap anywhere for now, the next 48 hours and 7 days, with dust and air quality, UV, visibility, sunrise and sunset. Highlights warn about fog, dust, strong wind, extreme heat and storms.

SEA
Wave height and direction, wind and wave period on the map, drawn to the real coastline. For any beach or spot at sea: waves, swell, wind waves, sea temperature, currents, tides from the FES2022 model, and a simple beach and boating verdict.

FOR ENTHUSIASTS
Pick the forecast model (ECMWF, GFS, ICON or Open-Meteo's best match) and compare them side by side.

WIDGETS AND WATCH
Radar, Weather & rain, and Sea widgets, and an Apple Watch app with rain, weather and sea pages and complications.

Data: NCM radar, ECMWF open data (CC BY 4.0), Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0), CAMS, FES2022 (CNES/AVISO+). Not for navigation.
