Good to know

What it does, and what it doesn't

Rain Nearby means any rain

Light rain counts too. The alert is there so you take an umbrella, not only for storms.

See where it is raining

Tap the weather card for rain measured at NEA's gauges: how many stations islandwide are wet, and the heaviest reading near you or near any area you pick.

Measured, with the station named

Temperature, humidity and wind come from the nearest NEA station, named with its distance and time, next to NEA's 2-hour forecast.

MRT disruptions too

MRT alerts start on for the lines near your saved stops and stations, and you can switch any line on or off.

Platforms
