The map showing the precipitation over the last 3 hours is probably based on this parameter:

In Basic panel, hourly precipitation amounts are actually the total of large-scale rain, convective rain, and snow which are shown in detail in Meteogram. They therefore come from different parameters.
You will have fun finding which ones by typing “precipitation” in the search box :

As a conclusion to this long discussion, remember that weather forecast relies more on probability rather than arithmetic.
