MAP Rain model infographic

MAP Rain model infographic shows some of the analytics solutions built using the MAP Rain model

MAP Rain is a generic real-time model built using MAP for processing, primarily, radar and forecast rainfall data. The model delivers all the underlying process of fusing the historic, current, Hyperlocal (our own 1-hour forecast) and forecast rainfall data together for any area, resolution, or size of cutout (the area over which we process the rainfall data). Built into MAP Rain are lots of methods to re-sample, aggregate, extract and re-process the rainfall data. These ensure we have the flexibility to apply rainfall data to any point or polygon in the overall cutout area. All these methods are available as API calls.

We use MAP Rain to build a broad range of applications that have rainfall data at their heart. The number of such applications continues to rise and we can deliver all these applications to multiple customers on one instance of MAP.

Current Hyperlocal Storm alerts

These are the Hyperlocal Storms alerts (beta) identified around the UK for today. Using real-time radar rainfall we are tracking the path of areas of high-intensity rainfall and predicting their movement over the next hour, at 5-minute increments, using a machine learning algorithm. As these Hyperlocal Storms pass over any village, town or city we generate an alert. For customers interested in particular cities then we can create the alerts for any postcode sector in the city.

This is part of our MAP Rain service. For more information then click here.

We have created our own Hyperlocal Rainfall predictions for the past 5 years. Click here for more information and you can download the Hyperlocal Rainfall app on both the Google Playstore and the Apple App Store.
