Please Don’t Rain is a fun, convenient way to track whether rain (or snow) will affect a day that’s important to you. When you have an important day coming up it can be cumbersome having to look up the weather for it over and over again. Not anymore!

Today's 5.3 update has some nice updates to the Nearby Days section. There are a lot more scenarios where more data can be displayed when space is limited.

You can also now share this section!
