RadarDrops

RadarDrops shows you real-time precipitation radar data on an interactive map. See exactly when and where rain, snow, or hail is approaching — with minute-by-minute nowcasting so you always know what's coming.

Features:

Live precipitation radar updated every 5 minutes

Is it about to rain? How heavy? And when will it stop?

RadarDrops answers exactly these questions - not with vague forecasts, but with real radar measurements updated every 5 minutes.

WHY RADARDROPS IS DIFFERENT

Most weather apps show you forecast models that are only updated every 3-6 hours. RadarDrops uses ground-based radar stations instead - meaning you see what is happening RIGHT NOW and what to expect over the next 120 minutes.

- Real-time data instead of hours-old forecasts

- 5-minute updates from over 370 radar stations

- Nowcasting: Precise short-term forecast for the next 1-2 hours

- Virga detection: We show you whether rain actually reaches the ground
