What's New

This version introduces several performance fixes and introduction of a new data source with faster performance from the National Weather Service. Should you need support or just want to say "Hey" please feel free to contact me on my web site. The door is always open.

App Description

Using a proprietary neighborhood-level analysis of NEXRAD Level III Storm Total and NEXRAD Level III Reflectivity Rainfall per Hour data you are now prepared to get the most accurate rain and precipitation measurements for your location using NEXRAD Level III data from the National Weather Service. The best part is that you can receive the latest precipitation overview on your Apple Watch device with no additional charge or subscription.

If you are in a GPS region covered by a United States National Weather Service NEXRAD Level III radar (including most of the United States and parts of Southern Canada, mileage will vary) we bring you the best estimates for precipitation in your area.

Not only do we detect the heaviest of precipitation, such as rain and snow, we also give you information on fog, haze, and mist that is causing a damper in the area. Using estimates you can best see storm totals in your area.

The best part of the Rain and Precipitation Gauge is that you are not depending on any third party cloud services to process your data. You receive your data direct from the Internet from the National Weather Service and it processes with local scientific libraries on your iOS device. The even better part is that you are reading completely compressed NEXRAD data saving you from pricey data bandwidth usage.
