Bravo Weather: Rain Radar

Rain radar, weather forecasts up to 16 days and every model side by side.

A new way to read the weather. Most weather apps give you one number and hide where it came from. Bravo gives you BravoCast, our own AI forecast, and every weather model behind it, so you can see whether they agree.

BravoCast is Bravo's AI machine-learning weather model. It has learned from years of observed rainfall which forecast models to trust, where and when, and turns them into one answer for rain, temperature and wind, anywhere on earth.

Behind it sit the world's major weather models, including ECMWF, GFS, ICON, GEM and JMA, with UKMO for Weather Nerds. They run on different physics and different observations, and when they disagree, that disagreement is the most useful thing on the screen.

Every model putting 15 mm on Thursday is worth planning around. Two of them is worth watching and nothing more. Bravo shows you which one you are looking at.

WHAT YOU GET

• BravoCast: Bravo's own AI forecast, the one answer on every screen and the first row on every grid
• Home: today, the next ten days and how sure the forecast is, with every model's rain drawn hour by hour underneath
• Every model side by side, each to the end of its own run — up to 16 days ahead — for any location on earth
• Frost forecasts on the same models — overnight minimums and how many agree
• Snow: fresh snow from each model and BravoCast, day by day and hour by hour, plus a snowfall layer on the map
• A full-screen rain map from ten forecast models, with wind and pressure
• Live rain radar on the map: the rain that is falling now, and the next hour
• Wind, tides, swell, sun, moon and UV, each on its own screen with the answer first
• The Big Picture: a plain-English briefing on what is actually driving your region's weather, not just what will fall
• Alerts on your own thresholds for rain, frost, high temperature, wind, snow and swell, by email
• Share the forecast as a picture: every model, every day, ready for Messages, WhatsApp or the family group chat
• Your saved places on the home screen, one tap from their forecast
• Widgets for your home screen: the rain total for the days ahead and every model's number, at a glance

FOR ANYONE WHO ACTS ON THE FORECAST

If you are deciding whether to go, wait, or move something under cover, "60% chance of rain" is not an answer — knowing whether the models agree is. Bravo works anywhere in the world.

FREE AND WEATHER NERD

Home, the wind, tides, swell, sun, moon and UV screens, the rain map for the week ahead, live rain radar, search, the frost view and the first seven days of the model grid are free, with no account. Weather Nerd adds the rest of every model's run (up to 16 days), which model says what on each day, the map's extra models and the map past the first week, Compare on the map, every kind of alert, and the complete Big Picture briefing. Bravo Weather Nerd is a yearly subscription, with the first two weeks free for new subscribers. It renews automatically unless cancelled, and can be managed or cancelled in Google Play at any time.

ALERTS

Set the amount of rain you are waiting for, how many models must agree, and how far ahead to look. Bravo checks once a day and emails you when your rule is met — once per weather event, not once per day. Frost, high temperature, wind and snow alerts work the same way, frost with a threshold defaulting to +2 °C, because models publish screen temperature and the ground runs colder on the nights that matter. Swell alerts cover the Australian coast.

Weather data from ECMWF, NOAA, the Met Office and DWD. Radar data powered by Rainbow.ai.
