Our Mission
Rain Simulator was created to bridge the gap between meteorological data and public understanding. We believe that visualizing weather data helps people better prepare for and understand precipitation events.
Our tool combines real-time weather data with physics-based visualization to provide accurate, educational representations of rainfall at different intensities.
What Guides Our Work

Data Sources & Methodology
Weather Data
Real-time weather data is sourced from WeatherAPI.com, which aggregates data from multiple meteorological services worldwide.
Classification Standards
Rainfall intensity classifications follow standards established by:
- World Meteorological Organization (WMO)
- Australian Bureau of Meteorology
- US National Weather Service
- MeteoSwiss (Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology)
Visualization Method
Our rain simulation uses HTML5 Canvas with physics-based particle systems to represent rainfall density, drop size, and wind effects accurately.
