@mbm12
To understand the type of rain, if the airgram or meteogram is not enough, you have to understand why it is going to rain, what is the orgin of rain falls. Is it because of a warm front ? A cold front ? Occlusion ? Are we in the zone just after a cold front ? Convective zone (thunderstorms) ?
Understanding the synoptic will answer to your questions in more details because for each type of synoptic situation you can expect certain type of rain (long and continuous, rain shower,...)
Keep in mind that rain falls < 0.4mm/h is sometimes hard to notice
You can also use the map type of precipitation but it will not completely answer to your questions

would you know to inform me if the next days or a forecast, if my city will have rains (storms) that month? I live in Hidrolândia-CE / Brazil

Will ZCIT get closer to Ceará? How do I know on the wind map if you have a VCAN?

Not really easy to explain on a reply.
