Don't you trust when your father assures you that it's going to rain? Or don't you want to take your eyes off your Android smartphone to look at the sky before leaving? In any case, don't worry and install Rain Alarm (Rain Alarm), as an effective tool to predict the behavior of this unruly spring that we are going through.
This application alerts you through vibration and / or sound as the rain is getting closer to the place where you are, using the GPS module of your terminal. If you are bothered by the continuous alarms, you can configure them to your liking, or deactivate them and configure a widget to monitor the rainfall in the surroundings.
If you open the program you will be able to view Google maps (from Open Street Map in the case of the Pro version), and the rains over the Spanish geography, based on the data offered by the State Meteorological Agency, so the reliability and certainty of the data is beyond doubt. You can even observe the intensity of the rain according to the color of the radar map. It also works in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Germany, Croatia, etc., also based on data from their state meteorological services.
The program will update automatically in the background of your Android system, unless you indicate otherwise in the options, so keep that in mind in case you do not have a 3G data flat rate.
You can also modify the intervals update, the animations of the rain radar, the distance from which the alarms will start to go off as the rain approaches, etc.
You can download it in its free version at Google Play Store, free of all publicity, which is appreciated.
As you can see, Rain Alarm can serve as an excellent fellow traveler on your bicycle excursions, to find out which direction you should go. In addition, it is a good way to save you carrying the umbrella on your walk, no matter how cloudy it is when you look out the window (or see your smartphone screen more clearly due to the decrease in sunlight).
