About this app
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 millimetres 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.

What's new
Version 8.5 · Oct 29, 2026
THE ANIMATION STARTS IN 2 SECONDS Tap Play and the rain moves. On mobile data it used to take 4 to 5 seconds, and much longer on 3G. Many small optimisations later, the animation now starts within 2 seconds on 4G, and the frame under the time slider appears first, so you see the moment you asked for. · Between frames, each part of the rain now moves with its own measured speed and direction, not with one speed for the whole map MAP AND WIDGETS · Weather alerts no longer hide the rain: the alert outline is above the weather layers, and the fill is below them · A new "Forecast Cone" switch hides the cone around a storm track (Essential and Pro) · The radar map in widgets is sharp, and widget text follows your iOS text size · The Apple Watch radar complication no longer shows "Unavailable" FIXES · The weather alert count on the tap-on-map card now opens the alerts · Satellite widgets no longer show every place name twice Have a question or suggestion?
