No measurable rain was estimated for this period.
A sensible estimate, not a backyard gauge. Rainfall can vary over short distances. This reading represents the weather-data grid cell nearest your selected location.
Plain and simple
Search by city or ZIP code, or let your device provide its current coordinates.
Recent model and observation data is matched to the nearest weather grid cell.
We add the hourly or daily rainfall and report it in familiar U.S. inches.

Rain by Zip uses Open-Meteo’s current and historical weather APIs. These services combine weather models with observations to provide consistent location coverage.
Results are estimates and may differ from a nearby physical rain gauge, especially during brief, localized storms. Historical custom-date results may also be revised as observations are quality controlled.
