Where it works

Plain about what is live and what is forecast

Forecasts, wind and events: worldwide.
Live radar: the United States and Japan at launch. Elsewhere, including the UK and Taiwan, the Rain layer shows the model forecast and says so.
Launching in: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom.

EarthEvent on iPhone: rain radar over Japan from the Japan Meteorological Agency, with a millimetres-per-hour legend

Where radar is published openly, such as Japan’s, you see real rain as it falls, with a short replay. More countries will be added as open sources become available.
