Introducing the new hourly "forecast scroller" that provides a quick and scannable alternative to the hourly graphs. This includes details of forecasted rain amounts for each hour, as chance of rain on its own provides no indication of intensity. You can tap on the forecast scroller to collapse/expand it depending on how much detail you prefer to see.
