Radar and forecast are different
A forecast estimates the future. Radar displays echoes associated with precipitation observed in the atmosphere and is especially useful for nowcasting.
Watch the movement
The key information is not only where it is raining, but how precipitation areas move over time. Comparing successive frames helps assess whether a cell is moving towards Como, the central lake or upper Lario.
Radar limitations
Topography, distance from radar sites and precipitation characteristics can affect the display. Combine radar with forecasts, local observations and official warnings.
Safety note
Como Lake Weather is an information service. For warnings, emergencies and safety decisions always consult Civil Protection, Regione Lombardia and the competent authorities.
