🌧️ PredictRain Overview

PredictRain is a powerful set of tools that helps you plan around rain with precision. Whether you're going sailing, heading ashore, deciding whether to hang out the washing, managing a farm, or organising a sports event, PredictRain gives you the insight you need to stay one step ahead of the weather.

Get accurate, easy-to-understand rainfall forecasts powered by the latest radar and AI technology, all in one convenient platform.

Important Note: AI Rain is only as accurate as your nearest rain radar. If you're far offshore or outside radar range, traditional forecast models may offer better guidance.

For best results, use AI Rain alongside Rain Radar and Rain Graphs to get a full picture.
