This accuracy-obsessed weather app does one thing oh so well
Whether weather is always on your radar or merely a passing front of occasional interest, having an on-demand eye on the world around you is one of the most powerful slices of sorcery you can set your sights on today. And this week, I want to introduce you to a worthwhile new weather app I recently encountered that's decidedly different from the others. It isn't meant to replace whatever weather app you're already using, whether that's the one that came preinstalled on your phone or another favorite you've found over time (maybe even one that serves up the forecast with a hilarious side of sass?). Rather, it serves one super-specific purpose—and serves it impressively well. And it might just be worth your while to keep around as a complement to whatever other weather wesource resource you're using. Be the first to find all sorts of little-known tech treasures with my free Cool Tools newsletter from The Intelligence Your personal precipitation station Most weather apps aim to do it all—to be your one-stop spot for every manner of weather info you could possibly wonder about. This week's Cool Tool is more of a specialist. It does just one extremely specific weather-related thing, but good golly, does it do it well. ➜ The app is called Precip. Any guesses about its purpose? If you said it knits you sweaters whilst preparing delightfully steamy stews, (a) excellent guess—but (b) unfortunately, that isn't correct. Precip, as perhaps might've been your next guess following sweaters 'n' stew, measures the rain and other precipitation around you. It isn't offering up a forecast like most weather apps, in other words. It's actually telling you how much moisture came down in any given area—over any time period you want. And it lets you zoom into a narrow area for supremely detailed and precise info, too, even going down as far as to a specific address. There's just one asterisk: Precip's data is limited to the U.S. and Canada, at least for the time being. (Sorry, international pals!) ⌚ If you're in one of those areas, though, it'll take you all of a single minute to start using: For the best and most robust experience, you'll want to snag the mobile app—available on Android as well as on iOS. You can also check rainfall totals by zip code on the Precip website, but you won't be able to zoom in any further to exact locations or to access any of the more advanced data. In the apps, you can search by city, zip code, or street address, and you can see rain totals from the past 12, 24, or 48 hours. You can also save specific locations and then easily track their rain totals over time. Precip offers even more info as a part of its premium subscription, for 20 bucks a year and up. But the app's free version is plenty powerful, and odds are, it'll be all you need. (That version also doesn't even seem to have any ads present, as far as I've seen so far.)

Professional golf's slooooowwwwww play problem
At the Women's PGA Championship last week, the heat index reached triple digits, wind gusts blew at more than 30 mph — and some rounds lasted an outlandish six hours. It left the best players in the world fuming and flummoxed and again spotlighted the problem of slow play in golf, an issue that has plagued both the men's and women's tours in recent years.

Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: It'll feel like summer again today after the short break Friday. Mid-80s to around 90 this afternoon with a chance of a couple of storms, which could be strong. What's next? Similar tomorrow and into the start of the workweek. A cold front eventually delivers somewhat drier air by Wednesday. Today's daily digit — 6/10: Back to summer, but at least it's a tamer version than earlier in the week. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.

A few storms may pop up in the late-day sun as highs reach the mid-80s to a degree or two past 90. Winds are from the south and southwest around 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: A couple evening storms are possible. Otherwise, trending mainly clear and muggy. Lows are mainly in the 70 to 75 range.
