Rain Tally: Virtual Rain Gauge2.0.4 - App Store

What fell and what's coming, on one screen. Rain Tally is the virtual rain gauge for the question every gardener and grower is already asking: do I need to water today, or will the rain do it? Past 7 days, next 10, and your weekly rainfall target in one view.

PAST AND FUTURE TOGETHER
Most rain apps show you a forecast or a recent total. Rain Tally puts what's already fallen next to what's still coming, so the watering decision is one glance, not a running tally in your head.

ARE WE ABOVE NORMAL?
A dry spell is easy to feel and hard to measure. New in 2.0, Rain Tally carries long-term precipitation averages for every location: what usually falls at your location for any stretch of the year, built from records going back to 1970. Your recent rainfall sits beside its long-term normal.

YOUR RAIN GAUGE WINS
Rainfall is local at a resolution no weather service can match. Two gauges within a mile of each other can differ by two inches in a single heavy storm. When your gauge says one thing and the weather service says another, Rain Tally trusts your number. Log what fell, and every chart and total recomputes against your data. Most days you won't need it. The weather service and what fell in your yard will match closely enough. For the days they don't, your number wins.

YESTERDAY'S FORECAST BECOMES YESTERDAY'S MEASUREMENT
Most weather apps show the forecast at the moment you look, then move on. Rainfall measurements don't land instantly. Weather-station staff have to read their gauges, the service combines that with other data, and a finalized number publishes hours or days later. Rain Tally keeps checking for 10 days, swapping each day's forecast for the measurement once it's in. A week later, when you look back at the chart, the app has those updated numbers.

DROP A PIN ON THE MAP
Search by address, or drop a pin anywhere on the map. The pin is there for the spots an address can't reach: food plots, pastures, the back corner of a property. One tap captures the coordinates and the local time zone, and the location gets its own past, forecast, and target. You can also just tap the map to get recent rainfall for any location. Radar and precipitation maps show what's moving through and what the next hour brings.

HISTORY AND TRENDS
Pull up any year by day, week, or month, in a chart, table, or calendar. Compare this year against past years, and to the long-term average, to tell at a glance whether the season is running wet or dry. Toggle between calendar year and water year (October through September) for agricultural and water-resource planning.

ALSO IN THE APP
. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets per location
. Export every daily total to a CSV
. Track one location for free; multi-location, History, and Trends with Plus or Pro
. iPhone and iPad. Your data stays on your device.

WE BUILT IT FOR OUR OWN GARDEN
Disparate Elements is an independent software studio. The founders are engineers who garden, and Rain Tally came out of wanting a better way to track rainfall in our own beds and the community-garden plots where we volunteer. "Do we need to water, or will the rain do it?" is the question we ask ourselves every week. If you're asking the same one, this is the tool we built for you.
