## What is RainParade?

Do you ponder how much it rained yesterday? Are you concerned about precipitation for your crops, trees, or garden? Do you wonder if this spring was wet or dry? Are you curious if the hiking trails will be wet and muddy? Is it time to water your grass or conserve the water? Are you a coach or parent concerned the field will be too wet for practice?

If the amount of precipitation we get impacts your life, then RainParade will benefit you. RainParade visualizes data from CoCoRaHS under the Creative Commons License. Only high quality rain stations are shown in RainParade. You can search and favorite stations in areas that interest you the most, then view the station details.

Recent precipitation totals are shown on the stations details page.  The totals are broken down by month and year.  The totals are compared to 30 year averages to determine if the totals are above or below the norm.

Rain is essential for life and a healthy environment.  You should celebrate the next time it rains on your parade.

The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, is a non-profit, community-based network of volunteers who measure and report rain, hail and snow in their backyards.

Volunteers use high quality rain gauges and then submit their observations using the CoCoRaHS website or apps. Observations are immediately available to the public via the CoCoRaHS Web API.

CoCoRaHS is supported by many sponsors and collaborators. To view a full list please visit the CoCoRaHS Web site. Please consider donating to CoCoRaHS today!

### 1/5 — Recent update rendered this app nearly useless

*2026-03-04*

This used to be a useful app for the CoCoRaHS network. The app update today appears to be another money grab, making some features I used to have access to no longer functional. I had to pay for this app originally but it appears that wasn’t enough. Will be deleting.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the frustration.  
Please email info@versolaltosoftware.com and I will address your issue.

### 1/5 — Limited data in northern areas

*2023-09-12*

There needs to be a map of coverage before purchase. My area has no data. The app opens on Denver Colorado every time and there is no location tracker to pull up the map of where you are. Every time you open the app you have to either search the map for where you are or open your favorites

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.  The map issue you mentioned where the map defaults to Denver has been resolved.  Sorry to hear your area is not covered.  Please check back as new stations come online frequently.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2023-04-01*

All that and more so.  Expected rain fall, YTD, weekly data, monthly, snowfall vs rain - really any way you can slice wet stuff that falls from the sky, this app does it.  Every gardener, farmer, and weather geek needs to have this on their phone.

### 5/5 — Awesome App for Tracking Local Precip

*2023-03-06*

As you know, rain and snow have a profound impact on lives and property.  The recent atmospheric river events in California are a prime example of this.  Having hyper-local reports of rain and snow totals from community members on the ground can be helpful in protecting life and property.  The recently developed RainParade app surfaces these hyper-local reports and it’s incredibly useful for me and my family.
