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
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.
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

- 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
