@idefix37 As a paraglider, you need to worry about every drop of rain; the amount of water that falls to the ground doesn't really matter. At my location 0.1 mm could mean a long period of light condensation (non-flyable) or a very short localised shower (high clouds warning), but if there is a decent chance of rain, your brain's danger control light should be blinking twice as fast. Therefore, a 3-hour forecast provides textile pilots more decisive information than a 1-hour forecast, which is premium and should be more detailed.
