About Meteocool - Rain radar
Don't want to get wet, or want to follow a thunderstorm? meteocool shows rain and storms as they happen and where they are heading next.
Features
Live radar, updated every few minutes: Germany, Switzerland, France, Czechia, Poland and the United States
Nowcast: watch where the rain moves over the next 45 minutes. In our experience the first 45 minutes are pretty spot-on
Lightning strikes live, from Blitzortung.org
Storm cells, with a 3D radar view of each one
Precipitation types, as the radar sees them
Rain forecast for your location, comparing several weather models
Base maps: match system, light, dark, OpenStreetMap or CyclOSM for biking
Radar colour maps, including two for colour vision deficiency
Your location on the map, followed as you move
English, German, French, Italian, Polish and Czech
Rain alerts, the notification before rain reaches you, need Google's push service and are only in the Google Play version.
meteocool is open-core, built and run by volunteers in their spare time. This app is open source (AGPL-3.0), free of charge and has no ads.
Radar data from DWD, MeteoSwiss, Météo-France, ČHMÚ, IMGW-PIB and NOAA; the app lists every source and its licence under Settings.
