RainToday

Now that autumn is on its way, the possibility that you will have to cycle through the rain has increased considerably. RainToday allows you to prepare a little better for such situations. The app doesn’t just show you whether and where it will rain in the Netherlands today, you can also receive an announcement if rain is expected at your location. This warning will be given one hour beforehand, giving you plenty of time to rummage for an umbrella and a poncho from your wardrobe or instead just take the bus.

RainToday was created by the European metrological institute MeteoGroup, which has also made versions for other European countries. So if you go away for the weekend or you are cycling just across the border in Belgium or Germany, there is also an app available for these countries.
