Thanks for that. Trouble is that the seaside town I live in has a well
documented micro climate. So it might be raining a mile away but sunny all
day here! Or vice versa of course.

Hi Phil
I liked it too, I remember that Ian and I had one a long time ago and found
it useful when our son was playing outside when the rain started. But,
coincidentally, someone recommended an iOS app called Dark Sky that I bought
and downloaded last week. It is really quite good, and provided you let it
know your location, it will tell you when it is going to rain within minutes
of it starting. I know this isn't useful if you don't have an iPhone, but I
certainly find it very helpful. As for a physical rain alert, I'll keep
searching and report back if I find anything of use.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] rain warning device
In the olden days RNIB used to sell a simple device (effectively an
extension of a liquid level indicator) that you put a plate outside your
window and then a very loud buzzer inside the house. Rain hits plate, noise
goes off!
Any idea where I might get a similar device these days please?
My Mum even had one from the 1960's that was very very well built out of
metal! :)
Thanks PJ
