The app has been developed by the International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune and India Meteorological Department (IMD).

Weather information of 450 cities will be available
According to the government’s claim, this app will currently show the weather conditions of 200 cities but will start releasing weather forecast reports for about 450 cities in India in the next 7 days. A 24-hour weather forecast will be given on this app. Notifications will be updated 8 times a day on this app.
