    Hey guys, does anyone know either an (Android) app, or a website, that will automatically alert you if it is likely to rain in a given period? I ride a motorbike and it would be nice to know if e.g. tomorrow there is rain likely so I can either take the car or wear better gear etc. Are there sites that can email you if rain is forecast the next day etc?

    Andriod app 'rain alarm'. Very handy. Gives you a rain-dar. Also gives you a message letting you know % chance of precip and how much time till it arrives.

    Yep rain alarm is about the best I've found, don't use it all that much but it generally seems to work pretty well

    It runs in the background and gives you a notification if there's rain on the way which is handy

    Dont know about any of you but there has been an easy way for me to know when it is raining.

    Basically since October if the day ends in a Y then its going to rain, been in my house 5 years and have never seen my back garden in such a state.

    Would love snow but log on here in the hope every day that its migh actually stop raining for 3 to 4 days in a row.
