If I am interested in some good rain radar data, I usually check the WunderMap by (which means Weather Underground). There’s even a current weather and forecast layer! The GoogleEarth rain radar data overlay, my favourite one. If you toggle “information” in the lower left panel, you can also start a cloud animation covering the last few hours. The real-time cloud layer in Google Earth In the past not all of them had data for Germany, but now there is good information. GoogleEarth is waaaay better with its great weather overlays. So I had a reason to think about the question: Where do I get some good weather and precipitation data from? If available, in a nice graphic way? This is what it currently looks like, there are more heavy rains to come. This is what is left from last nights floodings. Now it looks like thunderstorms will arrive again: Locals say this have been the worst flooding for at least 40 years, so pretty much excitement here, we are not really used to this despite the river Saale caused some heavy floodings in the past. The local newspaper has an impressive pic dump. Small streams became rivers and flash flooding occurred, damaging houses, roads, and cars. Up to 100 l/m² arrived during the afternoon and evening in Kirchhasel and other places in central Thuringia. On Saturday, some villages near my hometown suffered heavy rains.
