The app displays and animates the latest radar images, letting you see exactly where the rain, snow, or ice is coming from and when it will reach you.
Full radar coverage across all 50 states, powered by NOAA data. Also available in over 30 countries, including Canada, Mexico, the UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, and many more.
Whether you're commuting, hiking, at a game, on a job site, or planning a weekend outdoors — Rain Alarm makes sure you're never caught off guard.

*2026-07-15*

Das ist wie gesagt das beste Tool auf dem Markt. Mir ist noch nie was anders und was Besseres untergekommen.
Ich hab das schon früh als Provision auf dem Handy gekauft und bin jetzt dabei, dass ich es wahrscheinlich auf dem macOS nachziehe.👍🏼😍

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Alert to Rainfall

*2026-07-06, version 5.2.2*

Your Rain Alarm seems  to send alerts for rainfall which isn’t near me or headed towards me. Yet, when we receive rainfall or a storm, I do not receive a warning. Why so useless?

### 5/5 — Lo mejor de lo mejor

Muy excelente aplicación ayuda en todo momento y es muy certera

### 5/5 — Easy to read

*2026-07-04, version 5.2.2*

Pictorial images that automatically track through on a loop give you go indication of when you are going to get wet .

### 5/5 — Helps me

*2026-07-02, version 5.2.2*

Pretty accurate

### 5/5 — McCall Idaho

*2026-06-27, version 5.2.2*

We have no radar coverage in this area due to mountains that block your coverage. Yet we can see what’s coming our way
from active radar you use.
