Features & Capabilities

Rain Alarm Extension is a weather tool that provides real-time warnings about imminent rain rather than relying on forecasts. It uses nearly real-time data collected from governmental weather services across many countries worldwide, making it highly precise. This extension is especially useful for outdoor enthusiasts engaging in activities like cycling, hiking, or biking, helping them avoid unexpected downpours.

Supported countries include regions in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania with coverage from weather services in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, and more. While some countries may not be supported due to licensing or data availability issues, Rain Alarm strives to deliver accurate rain alerts globally.

Mediocre aplicación, diseño antiguo y escasas utilidades. Ademas que no puedo utilizar la suscripción en mas de un dispositivo, ya que no me reconoce la cuenta de e-mail.

I love how it uses real-time data instead of just forecasts. The alerts feel reliable and give me time to prepare before the rain hits

Is Rain Alarm Extension Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Rain Alarm Extension requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
