    Having dumped my iPhone for HTC Desire HD, I was disappointed to discover that the Irish Weather iPhone app had no equivalent on Android.
    So I made one, basic for now.
    Go to android market and search for rainfall radar. Free.

    theres an awful lot of weather apps already out there.
    will take a look at this one and see what it offers, possibly hasnt been done as the iphone doesnt have widgets...

    link for those who are lazy :)

    App called "Rainy Days" It on market and free.
    Show radar information for Ireland and Europe - I use it all the time.
    want to cut grass later today - then see if its going to rain - just look at the sight and follow bands of rain across country

    That's good, but when I tried to find a rainfall radar for Ireland it didn't show up! So I built one.

    Actually I've just downloaded both and I rather the OP's version for Irish mapping. Big slow or notchy but shows me what I want. Maybe I'm just used to the met.ie site ad the info it shows but I'm finding it hard to work out whats happening (as in a prediction for a 1 to a few hours away).

    I still have the other app installed as it's zoom function is very useful in other instances where you a looking at "foreign" weather or want a longer term prediction or want to zoom into a location and get a short term prediction.

    Well done OP. (and the guys behind Rainy Days also)

    1) Make this link a bookmark http://www.met.ie/weathermaps/Web_radar.gif

    2) set a bookmark on your homepage/whereever.

    3) ???

    4) Prophet (of the weather.)

    Just launched the UK version. Not sure what they'll think in UK Met office. Met Eireann clearly allows this kind of use if it's non-commercial.

    I think you might get some thanks if you post this on the weather forum

    Your next App project might be a lightning detector app :)

    I'm going to try your app now and see what I think.
