Use the Rain Map

View forecast rain across an area and compare rainfall between weather models.

Written by Keryn McMaster

The Rain Map shows where rain is forecast and how its intensity may change across an area.

View the Rain Map

  1. Select your saved location.

  2. Tap Rain Map.

  3. Use the time slider or Play button to move through the forecast.

  4. Open the model control to compare another forecast model.

  5. Check the map legend before interpreting the colours.

Use the Rain Map to see the wider pattern around your location. For exact values at one place, also review Tables or Graphs.

Regional high-resolution models may be available only in certain areas. A higher resolution does not guarantee a more accurate result, so compare it with the global models.
