We all like planning ahead. But sometimes the weather can spoil our plans. Two
new smartphone apps can help to solve this problem:
Raindropping
The sky is cloudy and it looks like it’s going to rain. You’re not sure if you’ve
got time to run to the shops. What should you do? Now, thanks to
“Raindropping”, you can just check your phone.
Raindropping uses GPS information to work out exactly where you are. It then
sends you a map of your exact location and tells you if you can expect rainy or dry
weather.
Raindropping checks the weather every 15 minutes. It lets you know how many
minutes you’ve got before it starts raining. It also tells you how long the rain
will last and when it will probably stop.
Road Trip Planner
Are you planning a road trip? Try checking “Road Trip Planner”. The app asks
you where you’re going and when you’re planning to leave. It then draws a full
map of the trip, and tells you the kind of weather you’ll meet along the way.
Road Trip Planner can help you know what to pack. It also helps you to plan
your trip. You can choose the best way according to the information you get.
