In fact the 1-hour precipitations stand for the last 3 hours, as shown by the weather picker and said in the FAQ.

You can check it hour by hour on the Rain layer. So if you accumulate all precipitation in the 1-hour table you get an excessive total. I must admit it is confusing.
I think the accumulation of 3-hour rain is more correct.

Please could you confirm my guess.
