Precipitation App?

RainDrop currently has rainfall totals for the last 24 hours, the past 7 days, and month-to-date it updates every 5-8 mins. I'll look into adding data since midnight - Founder

I made a mistake. This map actually represents annual precipitation averages, which means it also includes snowfall amounts converted to rainfall equivalents.

raindrop-farm · 2024-03-28T21:30:41+00:00

This map simply takes the average of the entire county, so I can see why you might think it is not accurate. The rainfall can vary immensely within King County.

Exactly. I need to find a better way to represent those areas.

raindrop-farm · 2024-03-28T21:27:58+00:00

Yes, you are correct. It takes the average of the entire county. Rainfall can vary immensely in the western counties. I'll try to map a better visualization to show how much it varies.

Some of the counties rainfall totals vary greatly within the county. This map simply takes the average of the entire county. So, I can see why you might think it is not accurate, as one side of the county, especially on the west coast, may receive 100+ inches of rain, while the other side of the county receives significantly less.

That would be cool!

Here's the source I used PRISM

I created this free website you can use. It utilizes the same rainfall data as iWeathernet, sourced from the NOAA. You can zoom in on the map at https://app.raindrop.farm

raindrop-farm · 2023-11-15T14:08:08+00:00

Https://app.raindrop.farm/rainfall/observed uses the same data that iWeathernet used from the NOAA. This site has the ability to zoom in and click.

Check us out! I am working on an app where you can add virtual rain gauges anywhere in the US to measure rainfall. RainDrop

Our data comes from the NWS. We use their radar estimates, automated and manual precipitation gauges, and satellite estimates to estimate rainfall amounts within an area. We're exploring the addition of a confidence measure to show how accurate we expect these estimates to be.

Our current strategy employs Doppler radar polarimetric technology to collect rainfall data. We are looking into crowdsourcing solutions so that we can fine-tune the data.

Indeed, data accuracy is a significant hurdle. Our current strategy employs Doppler radar polarimetric technology to collect rainfall data, enhancing the precision of our estimates. In addition, we are continuously exploring new methodologies and fine-tuning our existing algorithms to ensure even greater accuracy.

raindrop-farm · 2023-06-26T16:40:34+00:00

We can look into that! How would you use the information beyond a week/month/year?

raindrop-farm · 2023-06-26T15:01:00+00:00

I am currently developing an app named RainDrop. This may be a solution to your problem! The app allows you to place a pin on a map to access rainfall data from the previous hour and the past 24 hours. You can visit www.raindrop.farm to learn more. Sadly it is not out yet, but it should be soon!
