This weather extension warns you when rain is currently nearing. Instead of forecasting it warns using almost real-time data, which is more precise than any forecast can be. It is an useful assistant for everything outdoors like cycling, biking, hiking, and more.

Supported countries: Americas: USA (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam), Canada, Bermuda, Mexico, El Salvador, Argentina, Brazil Europe: UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Spain (including the Balearic and the Canary Islands), Germany, France, Hungary, Austria, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Belarus, Ukraine Asia: Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, Republic of Korea, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, India Oceania: Australia, Fiji

If your country is not supported, this is probably for one of the following reasons:

  • your country's weather service does not respond to my emails
  • your country's weather service does not provide radar images

I use this extension for daily rain updates and love it! If anyone needs more specific storm alerts or hurricane tracking, Storm Tracker is another great tool to stay informed about extreme weather. link - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/storm-tracker-hurricane-t/bnkaaocadlimipknmjoebcfnjfffdnif
