The Weather Chaser is a free weather app that provides live radar, hourly forecasts and severe weather warnings for Australian towns and cities. It helps you track storms and plan your day, whether you are in Cairns, Gympie, Sydney or Melbourne.
What features does The Weather Chaser offer?
The app combines Bureau of Meteorology data with its own radar overlay to show rain, hail and storm movement in real time. You get push alerts for severe weather, a 7-day forecast and a rain‑minute‑by‑minute view. The weather chaser app works for all Australian capital cities and regional centres including the weather chaser cairns, the weather chaser gympie, the weather chaser sydney and the weather chaser melbourne. It also covers the weather chaser townsville and the weather chaser qld region.
How does the live forecast compare?
The live forecast above updates from the same radar and model data that the app uses. For current conditions, the app gives you a more detailed breakdown – wind gusts, humidity and UV index – plus a storm‑tracking mode. Check the Australia weather hub for broader outlooks.
Is The Weather Chaser free?
Yes, the basic app is free with ads. A premium subscription removes ads and unlocks historical radar loops and custom alert zones for about $3.99 per month.
Does it work in regional QLD?
Absolutely. The weather chaser qld covers every town with a BOM radar, including the weather chaser cairns, the weather chaser townsville and the weather chaser gympie. Regional coverage is as reliable as the nearest radar site.
Can I get alerts for severe weather?
Yes. The app pushes warnings for thunderstorms, floods, cyclones and heatwaves. You can set alerts for your saved locations. For official warnings, visit the Severe Weather Warning page.
