Day 44: Rain — Precipitation at a Glance

Most radar widgets load radar images onto your watch. Rain doesn't. It shows a lightweight graph of upcoming precipitation, which means it loads fast and works everywhere in the world.

What it shows

The graph combines rain intensity and probability into a single metric called Precipitation Load (PL). Tap any point on the graph for precise insights. Precision depends on your region:

  • USA, UK, Ireland: next hour
  • Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark: next 2 hours
  • Worldwide: next 6 hours

Essential features

  • Multiple fixed locations
  • Full day period view
  • Temperature
  • Location name
  • Optional OpenWeatherMap as data source
Rain app on Garmin

Pro features ($0.59/month or $4.99/year)

  • Rain Alerts — a notification before rain arrives at your location
  • Share rain data with watchfaces (complications)
  • Optional AccuWeather as data source

First launch needs a location fix — go outdoors for the fastest GPS lock. After that it remembers your locations and updates in the background.
