Very handy

Great App but randomly missing data

You have developed a great app, but the hour by hour data for Waipukurau has been missing for over two weeks now. This is generally critical information for our operation…

48hr forecast not displayed

Love this app and rely on it daily but the 48hr forecast isn’t displaying! I need this to know how many jobs I can get done before rain starts. Please resolve!

Not working

Hasn’t been working last 2 days when I need it the most

My go to app for rain

The forecasts are updated regularly so it is good to track the changes
To understand how the predictions are being refined (wetter or drier). Especially rainfall hourly distribution (this often spreads out). The rain radar is excellent on scattered rain days as you can check it and ‘see rain coming’.
