How to read the rain radar
The map shows the last two hours as the radar measured them, then the forecast for the next 48 hours in five-minute steps. Use the slider to choose a time, or press “Play” to watch the rain move.
Light blue is light rain, dark blue moderate rain. Purple and pink mean heavy rain, the kind that falls in thunderstorms. The legend below the map shows the levels.
The radar often misses drizzle from low clouds: the drops are very small, and the beam passes over the shallow cloud layer. In narrow Alpine valleys, mountains partly block the beam, so the readings there are less reliable.
