About

Precip uses AI to make hyperlocal weather observations. We’re started with the most important dimension of weather: rain. For example, one of our customers uses Precip daily to make sure their heavy trucks won’t get stuck in muddy fields. Our highly rated mobile app is the best way to see rain and snow totals anywhere.
