Hyperlocal Weather
A rain drop gauge that works anywhere, on any phone
Hyperlocal Weather is a virtual rain drop gauge that measures how much rain fell at your exact spot — no cup in the garden, no US-only limits. See the last 12 hours through year-to-date, a full rainfall history and a calendar of every wet day. On iPhone & Android, worldwide.
Rainfall your rain drop gauge tracks
A drop-by-drop rainfall calendar
Your rain drop gauge doesn't forget. A month-at-a-time heatmap shades each day by how much rain fell, and tapping any day opens its total plus an hour-by-hour breakdown — so you can trace the whole story, not just today's number.
- Heatmap calendar — wet days stand out at a glance.
- Hourly detail for any day you tap.
- Months of history you can scroll straight back through.
Compare the rain drop for drop
Pin home, the allotment, the cabin or a job site and let the rain drop gauge tell you which one actually caught the shower. Rank every saved location by rainfall over 12 hours, 24 hours or the last week.
- Side-by-side bars for all your saved places.
- 12h / 24h / 7-day windows to compare.
- Great for gardeners, growers and travellers.
A rain drop gauge for your country
This is the wedge: nearly every rain drop gauge on the stores stops working the moment you leave the United States. Hyperlocal Weather measures rainfall around the world and runs on both iPhone and Android — same hyper-local drops, wherever you happen to be.
What a rain drop gauge is — and how ours differs
A classic rain gauge is a marked container you leave outside to catch drops and read the depth by eye. A rain drop gauge app does the same job without the hardware: it estimates the precipitation that fell at your precise location and shows you the running total. The catch with most of these apps is that they only cover the US and pick just one platform. Hyperlocal Weather is deliberately the opposite — a rain drop gauge that works outside the US, on both iOS and Android, inside a complete weather app.
Measured drops, not a distant guess
Instead of borrowing a reading from an airport miles away, the gauge pins your exact coordinates and blends Foreca, Apple WeatherKit and real weather-station observations into one hyper-local rainfall figure. The same engine feeds the minute-by-minute next-hour forecast, so you see both the rain that has landed and the rain that's on its way.
A full weather app around the gauge
The rain drop gauge is one tab of a larger toolkit — live radar, lightning detection, hurricane tracking and air-quality forecasts all live alongside it. If you're weighing options, see the plain rain totals view, the complete rain gauge app, or how it stacks up as a RainDrop alternative.
- Gardeners checking whether the beds still need watering.
- Growers and smallholders logging rainfall field by field.
- Travellers who need a gauge that follows them abroad.
- Anyone wondering how many drops that storm really dropped.
Rain drop gauge questions
What is a rain drop gauge?
A rain drop gauge is a way to measure how much rain has fallen at a place. Hyperlocal Weather is a virtual rain drop gauge: instead of a physical cup in your garden, it estimates the precipitation at your exact coordinates and shows the total for the last 12 hours, 24h, 48h, 72h, 7 days and year to date — no hardware required.
Is there a rain drop gauge that works outside the US?
Yes. Most rain drop gauge apps only work in the United States. Hyperlocal Weather measures rainfall worldwide — including the UK, Ireland, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, Japan, Singapore and Australia — so your rain drop totals are accurate wherever you live.
Does the rain drop gauge run on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Hyperlocal Weather's rain drop gauge is part of a full weather app on both iPhone (iOS) and Android, and there is a standalone Apple Watch app and a Wear OS app too. The iPhone and Android apps are free to download.
How accurate is the rain drop gauge?
The rain drop gauge blends high-resolution radar, real weather-station observations and forecast data from Foreca and Apple WeatherKit, pinned to your exact coordinates rather than a distant airport — so the totals reflect the rain that actually fell where you are.
