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

@gkikas-lgpz thanks

@korina said in doubts about weather forecasts:

@mbm12 Weather radar shows the data in real-time.

In Brazil in the state of Ceará is not in real time

@korina What is the update interval of the weather radar?

How do I know the next update of the forecasting models? No next update appears.

How do I know the types of clouds?

@yves70 said in what does this 33dBZ value mean on the radar?:

@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

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

what does low, medium and high cloud mean?

@yves70 said in Doubts about the meteogram:

@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?

@gkikas-lgpz said in what does this 33dBZ value mean on the radar?:

Colors on satellite image show cloud top temperature.

what it means? the hotter the more rain?

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

@petra-pik What does this green bar and drops mean?

How can I know what kind of rain, if it will be fast or if it will be a long one? What type and height of cloud causes rain?
