FAQ
What is Raindex?
Raindex measures and records actual rainfall for the places you save, such as your yard or a job site. It is not a forecast app and focuses on what has already fallen, providing detailed historical data and alerts.
What countries does Raindex cover?
Raindex covers the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, and Northern Mariana Islands), southern Canada, and Germany. Coverage may have minor exceptions near borders or specific regions.
How accurate is Raindex's rainfall data?
Raindex uses data from NOAA's MRMS network in the US and Canada, and DWD RADOLAN in Germany, which combine weather radar with rain-gauge networks. Readings are estimates for a 1 km cell and indicate their source (gauge-adjusted, radar only, or provisional).
