Global Rain Radar displays precipitation measured or estimated in near real-time. It is useful before traveling, commuting, or engaging in outdoor activities, but it is not a substitute for official forecasts and warnings.

What Do You See on the Map?

Colors indicate precipitation intensity, and animation shows the direction of movement. Always check the update time and legend on each site.

Why Can the Map Be Inaccurate?

Mountains, distance from the radar, and update delays affect the image. Future forecasts on the map are model-based rather than actual measurements.

How to Use It During a Trip?

Check the radar, forecast, and warnings together. In a desert or canyon trail, distant rain can cause flash floods even if the sky above you is clear.

In Israel

The authoritative source for warnings is the Israel Meteorological Service. Abroad, use the official meteorological service of the respective country.
