## What is Rain Alarm Pro Weather Radar?

Rain Alarm warns you when rain or snow is approaching your location using push notifications. Instead of relying on probability forecasts, we use real-time NOAA Doppler radar data to alert you as soon as precipitation heads your way.
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.

### 5/5 — My goto rain app

*2026-06-23, version 5.0.1*

I’ve been using Rain Alarm Pro since it was first released many years ago. 
Everything about it is great and I love the thunderclap notifications.

### 5/5 — Golf

*2026-06-19, version 5.0.1*

Great get to the course and then decide to play or not, BBC weather app would mean we never play

### 2/5 — Doesn’t show Drizzle

*2026-06-12, version 5.0.1*

We have heavy drizzle today yet Rain Alarm shows nothing so you’d think it’s a lovely sunny day rather than a cloudy drizzly awful day.

### 4/5 — Grundsätzlich gut!

Schade das es einige Bereiche in Europa gibt, die nicht erfasst sind. Hätte mir im Urlaub in Griechenland ( Peloponnes) sehr geholfen. Kann man ja vielleicht ändern…
