“Ourcast also encourages its users to contribute reports of weather in their particular location, which goes into the algorithm used to forecast the weather.”

“For picnickers wondering whether those clouds mean it's time to pack up, Ourcast Inc. has a mobile app that it says can accurately predict precipitation during the next two hours.”

Down to the minute

Want to know if its safe to go for that bike ride, or walk the dog without getting wet? We'll tell you. Down to the minute. Weather radar from the Bureau of Meteorology is processed live at Minutely HQ to give you a per-minute rain forecast at your exact location.

The usual

It wouldn’t be a complete weather app if we didn’t give you the standard info like maximum and minimum temperature, wind direction, humidity, and 24-hour and weekly forecasts.

Future radar

You’re probably accustomed to seeing weather radar from the past, but Minutely shows you radar into the future. Just drag the slider to see the next two hours.

Report the weather

Is the weather report wrong? You can easily correct it. By doing so, you’re providing on-the-ground observations to others near you.

9-Day forecast

7-day forecasts are so 90's. Minutely gives you a 2-day preview upfront and then the following 7 days if you need them.

Sunrise and sunset times

For any vampires using the app, you really need to know this kind of thing. It's pretty helpful for humans too. It can be found when you rotate your phone into landscape.

Earn points for your reports

Every time you report the weather, you'll earn points that will move you up on the leaderboard. We'll even give you some little badges at certain milestones.
