          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.

              you must wait
              Rain: domingo afternoon, segunda early in the morning and in the afternoon etc
              Wind: moderate at terça afternoon ...

                  what it means? the hotter the more rain?

                    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

                      In the maps of clouds give to know which types of clouds?

                      what does low, medium and high cloud mean?
