Rain: The Fastest Precipitation Widget for Garmin
Rain skips the slow radar images and shows a clean precipitation graph instead — fast, worldwide, and precise. Here's what it does and why it's worth installing.
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
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.
