Rain Alarm Extension

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.

Rain Alarm Extension: Real-Time Rain Alerts Firefox Add-on

Rain Alarm Extension is a Firefox add-on that alerts users of impending rainfall in their location. Unlike a traditional weather forecast, it utilizes almost real-time data for precise rain detection. Developed as an assistant for outdoor activities such as cycling, biking, hiking, etc., it sources data from numerous governmental weather services across Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. If your country isn't supported, it may be due to licensing issues, non-responsive weather services, or the lack of radar images.
