## Rain Buddy Description
Rain Buddy brings back the classic Bureau of Meteorology radar experience. If recent BOM website updates made it harder to check the weather, this app gives you the interface you used to rely on.

KEY FEATURES
Classic BOM radar – the familiar imagery you’ve used for years
Near real-time updates every 10 minutes
Interactive map to zoom and pan
Your location shown on the radar
Quick access to every Australian radar site
No ads

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.
