Layer: rain radar (RainViewer)

The latest rain radar picture (about every 10 minutes), from national radar networks shared through RainViewer. Shows where it is raining right now.

Map layers

Weather radars send out pulses and measure the echo from raindrops. RainViewer combines the radars that countries share. Coverage depends on which national radars are included: some areas may be empty even when it rains.

Radar shows the present; it is not a forecast.

How to read it

Light colours = light rain; yellow/orange/red = heavy rain or thunderstorms. Movement between frames shows where the rain is heading.
