Tracking a hurricane, watching a storm build, or checking if it's dry enough for a walk? RainViewer shows the actual rain on the weather radar map, in seconds, direct from the radar source. 10 million downloads across iOS and Android rely on RainViewer for live rain radar.

Radar wins the map screen. Built with Material 3: fewer buttons, more radar. A layer indicator always shows which layer you see: Radar, Satellite, Forecast, Temperature, Rainfall Totals, or Radar + Satellite. The timeline marks every radar frame. Fullscreen mode clears the interface for a clean screenshot or screencast. Tablets and foldables get a proper landscape layout.
