Want to avoid walking straight into a rainstorm? Check the rain radar and graph before heading out! Stay one step ahead with real-time insights and never get caught off guard by unexpected showers.
Stay Ahead of the Rain with Buienradar
The Buienradar app offers both a 3-hour and a 24-hour rain radar forecast, giving you a clear view of upcoming weather conditions. The interactive rain radar image helps you visualize whether rain is expected in your area within the next few hours or even the next day. Below the radar, the rain graph provides precise details on when rainfall will occur and how much (measured in millimeters). If you'd like a closer look at your specific city or town, simply tap the magnifying glass icon to zoom in for enhanced clarity.
Check the Weather on the Go
Buienradar is fully optimized for Android phones and tablets, making it easy to stay updated no matter where you are. Thanks to the built-in widget—which includes the rain graph—you can quickly check for incoming rain without even launching the full app. Plus, the Buienradar Wear OS app is back! It now supports viewing the rain radar, rain graph, and hourly forecasts directly from your smartwatch. More features are set to roll out in the coming months. Note that the Buienradar Watch App is available exclusively on the Google Play Store, as it only works with devices running Android Wear OS.

Personalized Weather Forecasts
The “Komende uren in” section provides personalized, hour-by-hour weather predictions for your favorite location—even if it’s abroad. This table displays key data such as temperature, perceived temperature, rainfall in millimeters per hour, chance of rain, and wind force measured in Beaufort units.
Beyond basic weather tracking, Buienradar also delivers detailed data including wind chill, ground temperature, sun intensity, air pressure, gusts, visibility, humidity, and exact sunrise and sunset times tailored to your location.
Seasonal Radars for Every Situation
Buienradar adapts to the seasons. In summer, use the pollen and mosquito radars to receive timely alerts—perfect for knowing when to hang up your mosquito net or prepare for allergy season. During winter, the snow radar keeps you informed about precipitation levels, while the ground temperature map warns you of potential night frost, helping you plan accordingly.
Long-Term Forecast Options
For extended planning, visit the “14-daagse” tab (14-day forecast) to access a visual weather graph covering the next two weeks. For more granular detail, switch to the list view under the “Lijst” tab, which gives hourly forecasts for the first seven days and daily averages for the second week.
Custom Rain Alerts with Push Notifications
