READING

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 is much better than a normal weather forecast. This is because it 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.

These two apps are still only available in the United States. But people all over the world will
soon begin using apps like them to prevent any unplanned adventures.
