Planning any road trips this summer?

teaser

With Weather & Radar now compatible with Android Auto, don't forget we can be your weather companion on the road this spring.

With summer thunderstorms a threat in the coming weeks and months, make sure you stay safe on the road with our Android Auto functionality.

We want to ensure that you know the weather on your journey, so with split-screen mode, you can see the what's happening along your route whilst navigating. This is compatible if your car display supports wide resolution.

The WeatherRadar will display the current satellite, precipitation type and intensity, while the RainfallRadar will only show you precipitation intensity, both of which are zoomable and will update automatically with your location.

The precipitation type key can be found inside our mobile app, with blue indicating rain, pink snow and salmon freezing rain. Yellow circles represent lightning strikes, and temperature is also displayed.

Be sure to travel safely this spring with Weather & Radar as your weather companion!
