About

Rainไหม?

Features
Read full description

Rainไหม? (Rain Mai) One question, one screen: is it going to rain in the next 30 minutes? Rainไหม? tells you nothing else. No weekly forecast, no temperature charts, no settings to tune. It is built for the moment you are deciding whether to take the motorbike out, or whether to put the awning up. ■ Current location or city search Use your current location or search for a city. Location permission is optional. Save up to five cities for quick access. No account is required. ■ Four answers Sunny, cloudy, rain, or heavy rain. When rain is coming, it also tells you roughly when it will start. You also get the expected precipitation for the next 30 minutes. ■ A scene, not a number Instead of percentages, you get an illustration of what people in Thailand are doing in that weather right now. ■ About your location The app reads your location only after you choose Use Current Location. Coordinates rounded to about 100 m are sent to the Open-Meteo forecast service, and the app does not store them. It never reads your location in the background. City search and saved cities work without location access. No ads, no analytics. Weather data by Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Rainไหม? at every 4 weeks against Thai Weather's every 5 months. Thai Weather's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
