Yeah I got it last yearly I think , it's very accurate. The timing of the rain starting and stopping is pretty accurate too . Think it cost me 3 quid or something

  Ive also got the App, and find it pretty accurate, especially with forecasting the rain starting & stopping.

Yep, I use it too. It is pretty good, but I have had a few inaccurate predictions.

I have used a free app called Rain alarm for a few years, shows actual rainfall for presant time and 30 & 60 minutes previous,with a bit of nous you can work out almost to the minute when it will start and (hopefully) stop.

Accuweather is good. Hourly and minute forecast plus radar.

I've got it set to notify me at 7am if precipitation greater than 20% and also 20.00 if temp is going to be below zero at night.
See how it goes.
