## Description

World Rain Radar delivers up-to-date doppler radar observations from multiple sources on a fully interactive global map. Users can freely pan, zoom, and search various locations to access precise rain radar data. Unlike platforms relying on a single data source, this extension aggregates information, ensuring you get the most recent rainfall updates particularly when zoomed into your area.

The extension covers broad regions including Europe, Scandinavia, USA (including Alaska and Hawaii), Canada, Puerto Rico, Africa, Australia, and Asia. It primarily uses authentic doppler radar data and resorts to satellite data only where doppler coverage is absent, providing accurate rainfall—not cloud—visualizations to help users predict weather changes effectively.
