Rain, on the clock
Rain alerts and a next-hour rain countdown

Comic Weather is a weather app for iPhone that turns your forecast into a comic book page. When rain is close, it stops being a vague percentage and becomes a clock: "Rain starts in 12 min."
The next-hour rain panel
Where Apple Weather has minute-by-minute data, a panel charts the next hour of rain and says when it starts or stops. It appears only when rain is falling or due within the hour, so when you see it, it matters.
Follow the rain on your Lock Screen
- When the rain panel appears, tap Follow on Lock Screen.
- The countdown moves to your Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, so you can check it without opening the app.
- To have it start by itself for your main place, turn on Settings > Notifications > Rain countdown on the Lock Screen.
Alerts before it starts, and before it stops
Turn on rain alerts and Comic Weather tells you before rain reaches your main place, and again before it stops: time to leave, or time to wait a few minutes more. Your iPhone plans them from the forecast it has downloaded, so they arrive only when the weather calls for one.
Ask Siri
Say "Will it rain, Comic Weather?" and Siri answers with the forecast. The same action is in the Shortcuts app, so you can add it to an automation, like a rain check before you leave home.
Where it works
Minute-by-minute rain depends on Apple Weather's coverage, which doesn't reach every country or region. Everywhere else, Comic Weather still gives the chance of rain hour by hour for the next 24 hours, and rain totals for each of the next 10 days.
Questions
Why don't I see the next-hour rain panel?
It appears only when rain is falling or due within the hour, and only where Apple Weather has minute-by-minute data. Not every country or region does.
Does it need my exact location?
No. It uses an approximate location, rounded to about 100 meters, or a city you add by name.
