@yves70 In satellite what do these colors mean? give to know the type of cloud?

@mbm12
The colors on the bar, show wind speed.
Rain drops show rain forecasted during that time of the day. -
Colors on satellite image show cloud top temperature.

Scale at the lower right

Rain: domingo afternoon, segunda early in the morning and in the afternoon etc

what it means? the hotter the more rain?

@mbm12
In theory, the colder the more rain. Cold cloud means high cloud like a cumulonimbus but be careful because it should be thick as well, as it is the case for cumulonimbus. Cirrus are also high but will not generate rain -
