You can now access both forecast and sensor measurements for rainfall and accumulated rainfall within the platform, and easily locate on the map the points where measured data is available.
When rainfall starts to intensify, every minute matters. In situations such as a flooded road, looking only at the forecast is not enough. It is also essential to understand what is actually being recorded in the field. With that in mind, we released an update that makes rainfall and accumulated rainfall analysis more complete within the platform.
The accumulated rainfall chart now includes the availability of both forecast data and sensor measurements. The same availability is also present for rainfall occurrence, allowing users to consult both predicted and measured data whenever they are available.
In practice, this helps answer important operational questions, such as:
Could the rainfall forecast for the next few hours worsen an already sensitive location?
Does the accumulated rainfall measured at a certain location help explain flooding on a road?
Could this measured volume indicate risk of overflow or worsening access conditions?
With these data sources more accessible, it becomes easier to combine different pieces of information and better understand what is happening.
We also improved how sensors are identified on the map. By selecting the Sensor view mode, you can quickly locate which points have measured rainfall data available. This makes it easier to find where observations exist and explore them directly on the map.
With this update, you can:
view the accumulated rainfall chart with availability of forecast and sensor data;
consult measured data for both accumulated rainfall and rainfall occurrence;
identify which locations have sensors using the Sensor view mode.
This is another improvement designed to make monitoring clearer and more practical. In situations where understanding rainfall in detail matters, having quick access to the right data helps support better operational decisions.
