PawWeather
PawWeather answers the one question before every walk: Is there still time, or is the rain about to start? It's built on the radar of NOAA and the National Weather Service — for your exact spot, updated every two minutes.
Not a forecast for “this afternoon,” but the actual radar picture for your spot: Where is it raining right now, and how close is it to you? The map comes from our own server — viewing it sends nothing to map providers.
No need to stare at the radar: PawWeather tells you before the rain arrives — and when the next dry window opens.
The alert comes before the storm cell reaches you — not once it's already dripping.
A walk reminder when it stays dry long enough for your usual walk.
How often, how early, and when not at all — you decide. Your phone stays silent at night.
You don't have to share your location. Enter your place instead — town or village, down to about 500 residents — and the app works from that point. The search runs on our own server; the list of places lives there, and no request goes to a mapping service.
The town centre is only the start: on the radar you tap your street and set the point exactly. That matters more than it sounds — in a city the size of Denver it can rain at one end and stay dry at the other.
Set breed and sensitivity, add your usual walks — and the assessment fits your dog, not just any dog. As a bonus, the app can put your breed on your home screen as its icon.
Short films about the app's features — with sound. A film only loads when you start it, and like everything here it comes from our own server.
Precipitation radar for your spot, updated every two minutes — including Alaska and Hawaii. Gaps in coverage are shown as gaps, not as “no rain.”
One line shows when it starts and when it's dry again — at a glance, no radar reading required.
Rain alerts, walk reminders and official weather alerts. With quiet hours, minimum spacing and a daily limit.
The assessment is tuned to your dog — guidelines for a healthy animal, not veterinary advice.
Save your usual walks — the app thinks in your routine, not in square miles. Temperatures in °F, wind in mph when your phone is set to the U.S.
The walk light as a widget on your home screen and on the lock screen. When rain moves in, it runs as a live activity: start, end, over.
Wind and gusts, UV index, humidity and dew point — right where you are already looking, not buried in a submenu.
Keeps track of which walks you took — if you like, the app checks in briefly after a walk. Part of the extended features.
Vaccinations, deworming and tick protection with a reminder before something is due. You can take a photo of the vaccination record for it. Part of the extended features.
Walk light, rain and day band on your wrist — also as a complication on the watch face. Part of the extended features.
One tap and the app reads out the situation: walk light, rain and alerts — handy with the leash in your hand.
The app speaks your phone's language — from English and German to Icelandic, Maltese and Ukrainian. You can switch it inside the app, too.
Export everything, move it to a new phone or delete it for good — right in the settings, no email request needed.
Map from our own server. No map provider looks over your shoulder: tiles, fonts and symbols are served by our own infrastructure.
Radar has blind spots: at the edge of its range, in the mountains, and in remote areas. PawWeather shows them as gaps, not as “no rain.” Missing information isn't dry weather — and an app that blurs the difference fails exactly when you rely on it.
Every screen says where the data comes from. Values we compute are not official statements. In severe weather, follow the official alerts of the National Weather Service and your local authorities, and call 911 in an emergency. What exactly we process is in our Privacy Policy.
Free, for good — no sign-up.

From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS): radar from MRMS, alerts from the NWS alert feed, and the hourly forecast from the National Blend of Models (NBM). Values we compute from them are not official statements. In severe weather, the official NWS alert applies.
The radar shows where it is raining right now and is updated every two minutes. The hourly forecast for the next 24 hours comes from the National Blend of Models; like any forecast, it gets less certain the further ahead it looks. Radar has gaps at the edge of coverage and in the mountains — we show those gaps as gaps, never as “no rain.”
It leaves your device only to get the weather for that spot, and we neither store nor log it. For notifications we keep only a rough area cell of about 3 × 2 miles — never your coordinates. Details in our Privacy Policy.
Yes. Enter your place instead — town or village — and the app calculates for that point; in the radar you can set it right down to your street. Location access is a convenience, not a requirement, and you can withdraw it at any time in Settings.
iPhone (iOS 17 or later) and Android (Android 12 or later).
Tap “Delete everything” in the app's settings — it's gone immediately. “Export my data” gives you a copy first. Or just delete the app: the server-side registration expires on its own.
No account. The rain radar and the walk traffic light are free.
