Cute Radar - Rain Radar Japan

Welcome to Cute Radar. A cute rain radar that shows you where the rain clouds are, and where they are heading.

"Can I hang the laundry out?" "Does she need an umbrella today?" Open the app and you will know in three seconds.

■ Made for moments like these
・Before hanging the laundry. One look decides indoors or outdoors
・Early afternoon, so you bring it in before the shower arrives
・Before the school run. No more guessing about the umbrella
・Before a walk or a grocery trip. See how long until the rain reaches you
・Before leaving the office. Folding umbrella, or a dash to the station
・Before a bike ride. Check the ride home too

■ Simple to use
1. Open it and the latest rain clouds are already there
2. Press play and the clouds start moving
3. Drag the timeline to jump to any moment

■ What you can see
・Live rain clouds now, and the forecast for the hours ahead
・Rain intensity in 14 colors, with the mm/h legend in the top left

■ Radar, and nothing else
No weekly forecast, no indexes. Just rain clouds, the moment you open it. Everything a radar needs is here.
・Type a place name or a landmark and hop straight there
・Save home, work or school with a name. Tap to glide over, drag to reorder
・The locate button brings you back to where you are
