Buienradar

Does it stay dry? The screen by the door knows

The question every Dutch visitor asks before leaving. The Buienradar widget answers it: a 2-hour rain graph in 5-minute steps for your exact location, a full-screen radar view, live weather, a four-day forecast and rain alerts, refreshed every few minutes, in a dark or light design.

Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month. Plugin version v1.8.
