Will it rain soon? How hard? And when will it stop?

Drops Radar answers that with real radar measurements – live rain radar and nowcast, updated by the minute depending on your region. No vague forecasts, just what's happening right now and what's coming in the next 120 minutes.

💧 WHY DROPS RADAR IS DIFFERENT

Most weather apps show you forecast models that update only every 3–6 hours. RadarDrops uses ground-based radar stations instead – meaning you see what's happening now and what's coming in the next 120 minutes.

▸ Current radar measurements instead of outdated forecasts
▸ Frequent updates from over 370 radar stations
▸ Nowcasting: precise short-term forecast for the next 1–2 hours
▸ Virga detection: shows whether the rain actually reaches the ground
