Animated radar
Use timeline playback to see whether precipitation is moving toward your location or away from it.
iPhone weather radar
Pocket RadarWeather radar for quick iPhone checks.
Pocket Radar puts animated rain and snow radar on your iPhone so you can read precipitation movement before you leave, commute, run, ride, or plan around changing weather.
See rain and snow movement instead of guessing from a percentage.
Forecast summaries are useful, but radar is the faster tool when you need to know what is near you right now.
Map styles and palettes
Choose a radar palette and map view, then adjust radar opacity to keep the underlying map readable.
Widgets and Watch
Keep nearby precipitation visible from iPhone widgets and Apple Watch when opening the full app is too much.
Built around the map
Pocket Radar brings rain and snow, wind, temperature, pressure and clouds onto an interactive map. Explore the timeline, then check a detailed 48-hour outlook or seven-day forecast.
It is made for short-term weather decisions: whether to leave now, wait for a shower to pass, carry rain gear, or check snow movement before driving.
The app supports iPhone and iPad, with Home Screen widgets and an Apple Watch companion. Location controls let you return to your current position quickly.
Useful for
- Checking rain before a commute
- Watching snow bands approach
- Planning walks, runs, and rides
- Reading precipitation from iPhone, widgets, and Apple Watch
