Zoom in for a closer local view or zoom out to follow larger areas of precipitation. MAP AND SATELLITE VIEWS Choose the background that makes the rain radar easiest to read. Switch between the standard map and satellite view, then adjust radar transparency to balance precipitation with roads, places and geographic detail below. MADE FOR QUICK DAILY CHECKS Open the live weather map before a commute, walk, bike ride, drive, road trip or outdoor plan. Rain Radar keeps the experience focused: current rain and snow, animated playback, location access and simple map controls in one clear screen. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the weather radar 2. Move to your location or another place 3. Play the timeline and watch precipitation change Open Rain Radar and follow rain and snow on an interactive global weather map. READ THE MAP WITH CONFIDENCE Use the frame time and precipitation legend together. A colored area describes the available precipitation data for that frame, not an exact promise of what will fall at your address. Compare several frames to understand how the observed pattern changes. When switching regions or map backgrounds, allow new data to load before judging the view. COVERAGE AND UPDATES Radar coverage, image detail and available frames depend on the region, the provider and your connection. An empty area can mean no reported precipitation or unavailable coverage. Check the timestamp before using a frame for your plans. Recorded radar playback and forecast cyclone tracks describe different kinds of data; the track shown by GDACS is not a minute-by-minute rain forecast. RAIN RADAR FOR YOUR PLANS Check rain and snow near home before setting out, then explore the weather map around your destination. Pan and zoom to follow a wider precipitation area, adjust opacity when roads or place names are hard to see, and choose a light or dark background for comfortable viewing. New map and radar data require internet access.
