I have used "rain Today" premium for some years, it costs £25 a year and
worth every penny. Very useful mobile app. About to go out to play golf
y'day and it showed a heavy shower coming our way and it did. It gives you a
2 hour forecast. Only downside is I am popular with other members asking me
for rain forecasts!!

Netweather is superb for lightning strikes.

So does the netweather URL, but you have to (repeatedly)
turn the animation on/off.

The netweather URL also appears to indicate lightning,
but I've yet to assess the effectiveness.

Thanks Tom I like that one as it shows the path of the rain. We have a
massive rain cloud over us now!! Have to go to the Theatre in a minute, I
guess it will be a dash from the car park!!

Or the very similar, but with a slightly easier URL to remember
http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

I find them useful if I want to have a good guess
as to whether it will rain in the next hour or two.
