The MetService Rural Weather App is a free lifestyle app developed by the Meteorological Service of New Zealand. It is exclusively designed for Android 13.0 and above. The app provides 10-day regional forecasts for 29 rural regions, severe weather information, and 2-hourly wind, temperature and rainfall forecasts for the next 48 hours.

This app also includes a 7.5 minute Rain Radar, 3-day and 5-day rainfall forecast imagery, the latest MetService TV Rural Outlook video, and daily past weather for the last seven days. Users can select their default location, which is saved as a preference. However, it does not include urban forecasts, marine information, mountain information, or maps that are not included in the list above.
