Harry Metcalfe of Harry's Farm videos uses a mobile weather radar app that seens to be pretty useful, does anybody know what it is?
I find it less accurate when we go walking in very hilly areas, but usually close to spot on around home.Yes, it is Rain Today. I've tried it and not found it very useful. Each to their own.
Rain Today is awesome. This past weekend was the British Prokart 24 hour endurance race at Teesside, the other teams were crapping themselves about the forecast, while we were calmly planning our strategy using the app.RainToday app. It is good and free!
I know what you mean [in the section I cut] but I do find The Weather Channel's local weather warnings uncanny for my farm. Not sure about it when I'm travelling. It gives me a half hour warning before most showers or rain.Most rain radars these days seem pretty good (I use Accuweather). However there are some weather systems when they simply can’t predict accurately enough - light drizzle/no drizzle is one; the second that springs to mind is when showers are v localised.
I tried rain alarm yesterday, it's good.I use rain alarm free version have for years .It works.
I don't like rain alarm as much as meteo as the alarm one only has 30 minute updates and meteo does it in 5 minute chunks.I tried rain alarm yesterday, it's good.
Shows the previous hour or so radar imagery so you can get a picture of where the rain is going and how fast.
Thanks, very helpful.
