They say nature has no bad weather. However, sudden rain can ruin our event, interfere with our planned trip, and prevent us from completing other planned tasks. To avoid this, we try to get a forecast of temperature and precipitation in advance in order to be fully prepared for various weather surprises. In this material I will talk about services that will show a rain map online, and also explain how to use them.

What you need to know about rainfall tracking maps

Most online services that provide a real-time rain map are international in nature, allowing us to display weather conditions (including rain) for the area we select. The vast majority of them have a Russian-language interface, which is especially convenient for domestic users.

Working with such sites is quite simple - you go to such a resource, select a display mode (in our case, “rain” or “precipitation”) and view the result by the desired geolocation. In addition to the current weather conditions, you can usually view the weather forecast for the near future (usually 7-10 days). In the last article I presented services with .

Let's look at services where you can view the rain map online.

"RainViewer" - precipitation weather radar

The RainViewer service is a popular development on the Runet by domestic enthusiast Alexey Schastlivy. The service scans sources of radar information for the presence of new radar images, processes them, and displays the results on the corresponding rain service map. This concept also boasts a mobile implementation, in the form of a corresponding application for gadgets on Android and iOS.

1. resource "RainViewer".
2. Precipitation levels are displayed in “dBZ” (decibels of reflection), demonstrating the intensity of precipitation in a particular area (can be tracked on the map by the corresponding pixel color).
3. By clicking on the "Play" button above, you can view how the weather conditions have changed over the past few hours.
4. By clicking on the “Options” button on the right, you can select the satellite map display mode (“Map Type” - “Satelite”).

"Windy" - real-time cloud map

The popular Czech service, created by Czech millionaire Ivo Lukovic, is aimed primarily at displaying wind movements in a particular geographic region. In addition to displaying wind, the service's capabilities also allow you to display cloud cover, temperature, rain and snow, waves, as well as the CAPE index. The site also allows you to get a weather forecast for the next 10 days by selecting one of the currently popular weather forecast models (NEMS, ECMWF, GFS).

If you went to windy.com, select the “Rain, Snow” mode and view the results for the geolocation you selected.

When calculating weather forecasts, the Windy.com service gives you the opportunity to choose one of three forecast models - NEMS, ECMWF, GFS (bottom right)

The company's weather service called Yandex.Weather can boast of displaying weather conditions for a particular geographic region of Russia. Weather forecast for the near future (up to 30 days), as well as displaying the weather on a large map, with the ability to switch between “temperature” and “precipitation” modes.

At the same time, the service information can be viewed both on a PC using a browser, and you can download a special mobile application for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.

“Ventusky” – a multifunctional Czech weather resource

Created by the Czech company InMeteo, the Ventusky service (from the Latin “ventusky” - wind) is intended to inform users about the weather forecast for the nearest time period. The map allows you to visually display many weather indicators (temperature, precipitation, cloudiness, wind gusts, atmospheric pressure, thunderstorms, etc.), information on which is accessible to users from all over the globe. Dating back to 2006, the site is now one of the most frequently visited portals in the Czech Republic.
