Grandinometro: Real-time Hail Reporting App
Grandinometro is a civic network application designed for real-time reporting of hail and severe storms in Italy. Users can contribute to a shared map by submitting geolocated reports about weather phenomena such as hail, tornadoes, and flooding, enhancing local awareness of severe weather events. The app also features a weather radar visualization based on public data from the Civil Protection Department, allowing users to track storm cells effectively.
Additionally, Grandinometro offers customizable alerts, enabling users to receive notifications about hail occurrences nearby, with options to set specific radii and silencing periods. Users can save up to three important locations to receive alerts even when not present at those sites. The app promotes community engagement and information sharing without advertisements or data sales, encouraging voluntary donations for support.
