Questions
Where does the weather data come from?
From official Singapore sources on data.gov.sg: NEA and MSS rain gauges and forecasts, PUB flood alerts and NEA dengue data.
Does it work for my exact area?
Rain status uses the gauges and forecast area nearest to you, so it is local to your neighbourhood rather than island-wide.
Will it spam me with alerts?
No. You switch on only the alerts you want, for the places you choose, and you can pause them any time.
