The Accumulated Rain Map in the PredictRain App allows you to see a graphical accumulated rain forecast overlayed over a geographical map by weather model at the highest resolution available up to 1km.
Global Weather models include PWG, PWE, ECMWF, GFS, and UKMO. We suggest viewing Global models for accumulated rain.
To view accumulated rain in the PredictRain app:
Tap Accumulated Rain Map in the PredictRain main menu.
Adjust the slider on the right of screen to your preferred timeframe - from 1 hour to 9 days.
Press play to view the animation or drag the time slider at the bottom of the screen forward and back to view the accumulated rainfall over the given period of time.
To view the Forecast Options, tap on the weather model drop-down box in the top right corner of the screen. From there you can toggle the options to choose your preferred forecast weather model, resolution, display type, GMDSS/Lightning overlay and animation speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my time slider get stuck in PredictRain, and I cannot move it?
If your timeslide is stuck on the Accumulated Rain map in PredictRain, it means you have set the period too high, for example, 9 days. The forecast is 10 days long, so the animation can only scroll forward and back one day when set to 9 days of accumulated rain. Try reducing the time to say, 3-4 days.
