        You can use the following scale to convert dBZ to mm/hour :

          For anyone here who wants a formula (I know I'm two years late), here it is: mm/h = 0.036 x 10^(0.0625 x dBZ).

            No need now for a formula as you have now the possibility to display the radar signal as rain rate. See units settings.
