Live weather radar, nowcast and rain alerts, hyperlocal forecast and hurricane tracker, built to help you see, understand, and act on rain before it changes. Tracking a hurricane’s path or just checking if it’s dry enough for a walk? RainViewer shows the actual rain on the map. Data reaches your screen in seconds, direct from the radar source, not a third-party feed. 10 million downloads. RAIN FIRST We rearranged the forecast tab to put nowcast and radar at the top. The minute-by-minute rain intensity chart shows when rain starts, peaks, and stops, with a radar map preview and temperature beside it. Cleaner hourly and daily charts now show rainfall totals. The chance of rain is only half the picture: how much falls, and how fast, makes the difference. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO RainViewer adapts radar map to every pose in Duo: open it and your locations sit beside the forecast on the inner display, with more hours and days at once; close it and the forecast follows you to the outer display; in landscape, navigation moves to the side and the rain stays in focus. THE RADAR MAP YOU ACTUALLY USE • 2-hour rain nowcast updated every 10 minutes. • Tap the map to see rain details on every layer. • Fullscreen mode clears the interface for clean screenshots and storm animations. • 48-hour radar animation. • 60fps vector map with arrows that show rain direction. • Coverage in 80+ countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. HOURLY AND 14-DAY FORECAST Temperature, conditions, wind speed and direction, chance of precipitation, and rain amount hour by hour for 72 hours and day by day for 14 days. RAINFALL TOTALS (QPE) Pick a window - 1, 3, 12, 24, or 48 hours - and tap any spot on the map for the exact amount in millimeters or inches. RADAR SCAN AGE Tap the map to see when each area was last scanned, so you know when to leave. RAIN ALERTS YOU CAN RELY ON Set custom alerts for your locations. Get national severe weather alerts from the US, most of Europe, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and more. HURRICANE AND STORM TRACKER Follow hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones on the map. See each storm's live position, path, category, and wind speed in your units AI WEATHER INSIGHTS Get AI to write a short summary of what to expect. APPLE WATCH (FREE) Standalone app with radar map, satellite, forecast, severe alerts, and complications. Works without your iPhone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TempTrack at none against RainViewer's 10. TempTrack also leads on ads (none vs shown). RainViewer's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
