Precipitation maps


Precipitation quantities shown are accumulated over the preceeding hours. Thereby the presentation is the same as for measurements.
For example, the 3 hour precipitation map shown for 12:00 UTC shows the total quantities in mm (= l/m²) between 9:00 UTC and 12:00 UTC.


Precipitation maps can be combined with wind (streamlines), clouds (grey scale) or other parameters (see examples displayed). See the legend of each map for details.
