Apps to put a rain alarm on your mobile
In Google Play you can find several applications that are responsible for sending you alarms when it is going to rain. Thus, you can plan better and avoid the rain when you go out to the street.
The most prominent of them all is the Rain Alarm , also known as the Rain Alarm. As you can read in its description, this app uses information from government weather services to do its job.

Rain Alarm detects any type of precipitation (rain, hail or snow) and warns you through a notification, vibration or sound , depending on what you configure.
To do this, click on the three-dot button in the upper right corner and go to Settings> Alarms to configure notifications . With the free version of Rain Alarm, you can only configure the sending of notifications when the rain is nearby.
For example, with the help of this application you can go for a run and receive an alarm when it’s time to go home because the rain is coming. In addition to configuring these alarms, in Rain Alarm you can also check the weather forecast .
Another application to activate a rain alarm on your mobile is Rain Radar, free to download from the Google Play Store.
