RainSeer - Rain Radar & Alerts
Know when rain starts & stops
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 2.0: a redesigned forecast, storm alerts for everyone, Alerts Follow Me, and minute-by-minute rain for the next 4 hours with Premium.
RainSeer answers one question well: is it about to rain where you are, and for how long?
Open it for a few seconds and you'll see the rain moving on a live radar map, with a plain answer like "Light rain in 12 min". Close it and RainSeer keeps watching: an alert reaches you before the rain does, and your widgets, Lock Screen and Apple Watch show the countdown.
RAIN ALERTS THAT ARRIVE ON TIME
• A notification before rain starts, with your choice of lead time and how heavy the rain needs to be
• Optional "rain stopping" alerts, so you know when it's clear to head out
• Storm and heavy-rain alerts, free for everyone
• Official severe-weather warnings, where Apple Weather provides them (not available in Australia)
• Quiet Hours for overnight
• Alerts Follow Me (optional): alerts move with you, using low-power location changes rather than constant tracking
• A Live Activity countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, kept up to date even when RainSeer is closed
LIVE RAIN RADAR
• Animated radar around you, with your rain status at a glance
• Search any place to check the rain there
A FORECAST THAT ANSWERS QUESTIONS
• Next Hour: minute-by-minute rain for the coming hour, where Apple Weather offers it
• Official weather warnings in your forecast, where Apple Weather has them
• Hourly and 10-day forecasts, temperature, wind, pressure, humidity, UV, visibility, cloud cover, air quality and pollen
• Sunrise, sunset and moon phase
• Hide and reorder cards to make the Forecast tab your own
WHEREVER YOU LOOK

Apple Intelligence features need an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, with it turned on.
Premium is an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. New subscribers get a free trial of the yearly plan. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase (or when the trial ends), and the subscription renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
YOUR PRIVACY
No account, no ads and no tracking. To send rain alerts while RainSeer is closed, the app shares your alert location with RainSeer's alert server, together with an anonymous ID and a notification token. It sends a new location only when you've moved about a kilometre, or after a few hours. Forecast requests send the place's coordinates to the weather services that answer them. Apple Intelligence features run on your iPhone.
Weather data: Apple Weather, Rainbow.ai, Open-Meteo.com and RainViewer.
