RainTrace

A quiet, uncluttered forecast. RainTrace tells you when the rain starts and stops, in plain words, and shows it coming on the radar.

Android app, in testing. iPhone later.

What it does

  • The next 4 hours“Light rain starting at 12:20 AM, stopping by 1 AM.” A rain graph appears only when rain is on the way.
  • Hourly and 10 dayAn hour-by-hour timeline with temperatures on a colour scale, and ten days of highs, lows and chances of rain or snow.
  • RadarA full-screen map that plays the past hour of rain, then a two-hour radar forecast.
  • AlertsSevere weather warnings at the top of the forecast, with the full alert text.
  • Home-screen widgetsThree Android widget sizes, from the next 4 hours to radar with a rain graph, each with its own shape and background.
