The rainfall app that does it all
One rainfall app for everything rain: a minute-by-minute nowcast that tells you when it'll start and stop, live interactive radar, measured rain totals, lightning detection, hurricane tracking and air-quality forecasts. Stop juggling three separate apps. On iPhone, Apple Watch, Android & Wear OS — worldwide.
Everything a rain app should have
Know when the rain starts and stops
The heart of any good precipitation app is the nowcast. Hyperlocal Weather reads live radar and forecasts the next hour minute by minute for your exact spot — "rain stopping in 55 minutes" or "showers starting in 20" — then backs it up with detailed hourly charts for the rest of the day.
- To-the-minute start and stop times for rain.
- Hourly charts for temperature, rain chance and intensity.
- Time your day — the run, the walk, the commute.


Watch the weather move in real time
Animate the live rain radar to see showers approach, then flip on layers for lightning strikes, cloud cover and wind. When the tropics get busy, hurricane tracking plots the storm's path — so a single rain app keeps you ahead of everything from a passing shower to a named storm.
- Interactive radar with switchable layer chips.
- Lightning detection shows strikes as they land.
- Hurricane tracking with full storm paths.
See how much rain actually fell
A complete rainfall app doesn't just forecast — it remembers. A built-in virtual rain gauge measures accumulation at your coordinates over 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 7 days and year to date, with a calendar heatmap of every wet day and an accumulation map. No hardware in the garden required.
- 12h to year-to-date rainfall totals for your spot.
- Calendar heatmap of every wet day and its total.
- Air-quality forecasts round out the full picture.

A rain forecast app that works wherever you are
Plenty of popular rain apps only work inside the United States, and most cover just one part of the picture. Hyperlocal Weather runs on iPhone, Apple Watch, Android and Wear OS, measures rain worldwide, and puts radar, nowcast, totals, lightning and storms in one place.
Why choose an all-in-one rainfall app?
Most people end up with a phone full of single-purpose weather tools — one radar app, one rain tracker, one forecast app — and switch between them constantly. Hyperlocal Weather is designed to be the only rainfall app you need: it answers "is it about to rain?", "how much fell yesterday?" and "where's the storm heading?" without ever leaving the screen. That's what makes it a genuinely useful precipitation tracker rather than yet another forecast widget.
What a great rain app should do
The best rain app combines short-range and long-range views. Hyperlocal Weather pairs a minute-by-minute nowcast with live radar for the immediate picture, then layers on measured rain totals, a 14-day outlook, lightning and hurricanes for the bigger context — all pinpointed to your exact coordinates using Foreca, Apple WeatherKit and real weather-station observations.

Rainfall app questions
What makes this the best all-in-one rainfall app?
Hyperlocal Weather bundles everything rain-related into a single app: a minute-by-minute nowcast that tells you when rain will start or stop, live interactive radar, measured rain totals from 12 hours to year to date, lightning detection, hurricane tracking and air-quality forecasts. Instead of juggling a separate radar app, rain tracker and forecast app, you get one precipitation app that covers it all.
Does the rainfall app tell me when it will start or stop raining?
Yes. The next-hour nowcast reads live radar and gives you a minute-by-minute rain forecast for your exact spot — for example "rain stopping in 55 minutes" or "light rain starting in 20 minutes" — so you can time a walk, a run or the commute around the showers.
Which devices and countries does the rainfall app support?
The rainfall app runs on iPhone, Android, a standalone Apple Watch app and Wear OS, and it works worldwide — including the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Japan, Singapore and Australia. Most rival rain apps are limited to the United States.
Is the rainfall app free?
The iPhone and Android apps are free to download and include the radar, nowcast, rain totals, lightning, hurricane and air-quality features. The separate standalone Apple Watch app is a paid download. Weather data is powered by Foreca, Apple WeatherKit and real weather-station observations.
