RainAware : A Perfect Umbrella For This Monsoon

The app store has seen a lot of weather forecast apps, some show up with beautiful weather animations others alert you with weather notifications for a beautiful start of the day. But what we haven’t seen is a weather app that can warn you of any unpredicted or upcoming weather changes; especially the rain, in a instant and accurate manner.

RainAware is not just a weather forecast app, it’s even better. RainAware does not provide generalized weather for a city; rather it relies on your accurate location to tell the weather forecast which could be quite different from the weather 10 miles away in the same city. It could be raining in your area but the other end of city could be thirsty for the first drops of rain. A regular weather forecasting service could just call the weather as cloudy but not only does the unknown weather changes adversely affect you day to day plans but could also put you in numerous troubles.

The main screen of RainAware has a 1 hour rain clock as well as a 3 hour forecast. The 3 hour forecast is supported by a precipitation chart which shows the intensity of rain with graph and colored representation, this can help you plan ahead of time for your good. Showing to most recent and accurate detail doesn’t mean that RainAware does not give daily weather forecasts. RainAware will tell you weather changes for 24, next 7 days (day and night) and even in other areas of the city within a radius of 10 miles from your location with weather condition and high/low.

Ever planned a wonderful Golf weekend and seen the rain spoil it? Well RainAware won’t let that happen again. You can now get the weather forecasts for your favourite golf club within the sites section where you also get forecasts for other sites categorized by popular locations like airports, shopping malls, golf clubs, speedways, stadiums and popular attractions.

RainAware is currently only available for US and uses the National Weather Service radar network to provide the most accurate weather forecasts.  RainAware has impressed us with its precise functionality and feature rich interface. RainAware may not be eye catching in the first look but its one of the few powerful and complete solutions you can afford for less than 5 bucks to save yourself from unexpected weather surprises this monsoon and also plan your week ahead. Well, if you feel RainAware is a little overpriced, just thing about the cheapest umbrella or overcoat you can get from the nearest store and the hassles to carry them along.
