Rain?

Tue, 04 Jan 2011 11:23:49 +0000

You're in Australia? You want to know if it's going to rain? You want to know quickly, because you're too busy, or you want to use that new/old hipster-brolly you bought on Sunday? Us too.

All this app does is show you the latest rain radar data in your area, kindly supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology. Nothing more - no weather forecasts, no finding out how flamin' hot it was in Yabbie Creek in 1894.

Just rain. Or no rain.

Please note: if you notice a missing or decommissioned
radar, please email & let us know!
