Interactive map to zoom and pan
Your location shown on the radar
Quick access to every Australian radar site

WHY RAIN BUDDY?
The Bureau of Meteorology updated its website with a new interface that many find harder to use. I built Rain Buddy to restore the familiar radar experience. It uses the same Bureau of Meteorology data, updated every 10 minutes, just with an interface that’s fast and straightforward.
PERFECT FOR
Planning outdoor activities
Tracking incoming rain
Farmers monitoring conditions
Photographers finding clear skies
Anyone who needs reliable weather radar
The app requests location only to show your position on the map. All data comes from the Bureau of Meteorology and is updated every 10 minutes.
Available for all Australian radar sites.
