Read full description

FirstDrop tells you when rain will reach where you are, before it does. THE IMPORTANT PART FIRST The app opens with a clear answer: "Rain in 14 min." Or: "Dry for the next two hours." The radar is at the top, with measurements underneath. No searching required. ALERTS THAT REACH YOU Get a push notification when rain is on the way. See a countdown on your lock screen as it approaches, or use the home screen widget. You don't need to open the app to get the answer. LIVE RAIN RADAR Animated rain radar powered by data from DMI, MET Norway, SMHI, FMI and EUMETNET OPERA. The radar covers Europe and shows how hard it is raining, measured by a national radar in the Nordics and estimated from the European radar composite elsewhere. Drag the timeline to see where the rain and showers are heading. SEVERE WEATHER IS FREE FOR EVERYONE Official weather warnings are sent directly to you, whether you pay for FirstDrop or not. The app does not replace official warnings. It passes them on and adds its own radar on top.
