Differentiate between smoke and cloud
Just wondering if it is possible for the app to differentiate between smoke and cloud.
Today the app seems to show lots of rain in fire affected areas, which would be awesome, but it seems the app can’t differentiate between smoke and cloud.
I’m guessing this is hard to do...
3 votesWe’d really like to implement this too – I had a go at it during peak bushfire season, however it turns out it’s substantially more complex than first though, and getting some accurate data on what is a fire or not is also quite tricky.

Allow me to see rain fall for other places
Would like to see the rainfall for other areas other that the one I am in.
With the bush fires I would like to know when they might be getting rain if any.37 votes -

Hail alert
Rain alerts are cool and handy but hail alerts could prevent damage to property enabling us to get our cars under cover. You could even get some funding from the insurance companies for this one potentially.

UV and feels like
Please add UV forecast - we’re in Australia where getting cancer is unfortunately more of an issue than getting wet.
Feels like temperature would really help too.

Wind direction backwards
Wind direction is normally given as direction it blows to, not from.
Check Wikipedia to confirm.

Hourly rain percentage.
BOM has a hourly rain percentage underneath the time and icon for predicted weather, a paid app using the same source should also offer this.

Cloud Cover
Would be great to have a similar interactive/moving style map with the cloud cover. I work in the film industry and this would be a great feature to assist with if it will be a sunny day or cloudy in regions that are not raining. Just an idea from the film industry side :) great app by the way I love it and use it all the time.

Rain Parrot does not fix on my location
I live at Little Bay (on the coast south of Maroubra) but Rain Parrot shows me the weather for Sydney Airport. Although the airport is a relatively short distance from Little Bay (around 10km) the temperature is quite different- coastal versus cement runways. I don’t have a problem with GPS recognition for other weather and GPS dependent apps, only with Rain Parrot.
11 votesWe are looking into some advanced ways we can merge our current ‘actual’ data with the predicted models, that other apps use, to provide a higher accuracy solution.
There are loads of apps that ‘fake it’ by using these models, we prefer to give the real data where possible, however we understand that this doesn’t work for everyone, particularly if you are not near a weather station.

Lighting tracking g
I have seen that you have a few requests for this and I think it would be a great addition.
I know that in Australia Bureau of meteorology has active lighting tracking. Other weather apps like weather zone and flight radar 24 also have this feature so the data source might be more available than back in 2016. Just an idea :)Love the app btw!

Horizontal scroll dates
In the horizontal scroll, it is difficult to determine which day the 3 hour block is referring. Is there a way this can be made easier see?
