Hate The Rain checks the sky over Sydney, New South Wales every few minutes and tells you when rain starts, how long it lasts and when it stops. Turn on alerts and we ping you before you get soaked.
Tropical wet season in the north, east coast storms that can dump a lot of rain fast, and winter rain in Perth and Melbourne.
Rainiest period around Sydney: November to April in the north, winter in the south. That is when alerts save the most shoes.
For Australia, the reference agency is Global mosaic. Forecasts use the best local weather model available, live radar comes from RainViewer, and nearby rain gauges confirm when rain has really stopped wherever they exist.
