The rainSPOT shows precipitation in the surrounding of the selected location for the time interval (hours) preceding the indicated time. If the rainSPOT shows intervals of 3 hours (e.g. 08:00, 11:00, 14:00...), the rainSPOT for 11:00 shows precipitation from 08:00 to 11:00. The details of precipitation (amount, probability, time, etc.) are usually described above the rainSPOT, in the pictocast.
