2. Section ‘Rain’

The rain section shows the images of the radar network for the last hour, and you can choose to activate or deactivate the display of the rainfall forecast in Catalonia.

In the key you can see that warmer colours show areas with higher rainfall intensity.

3. Section ‘Weather Situation’

The Warning section displays Hazard Weather Situation (SMP) warnings for the county of the municipality you have chosen. Other counties can also be searched.

Each warning can be viewed in detail by clicking on the icon. The degree of danger, the threshold and the temporal evolution in the county and in Catalonia are provided.

4. Section ‘Notifications’

In the application, you can configure notifications for Weather Risk Situation warnings and station data.

To activate notifications for warnings, you must indicate a county, one or more meteorological phenomena, and the level of danger. Each notification can be edited or deleted according to your interests.

For station notifications, search for a municipality, and we will propose nearby stations. Select one, and choose which variables and thresholds you want to receive the notification for. Currently, you can indicate minimum temperature, maximum temperature, accumulated precipitation during the day, and maximum wind gust.
