spooky. waz just looking at that and thinking how unclear it is now that they have filled the map up with elevation-related colours so you cant easily distinguish the 'rain' colours 😠

FFS how many colours do they want. The old grades of rain were a best
estimate at the best of times. How accurate do they think this is.

Looking around at maps that show some rainfall it seems this won't be a
problem, as the rain shadings overwrite all the terrain shadings and stand
out pretty well.

IIRC I've seen the map flick to this a few times in the last 12 months...

Very useless use of white guys 🙁.. How did they not get it that all
rain is blue (unless its angry then turns red etc)?

Speaking of angry, take a look at this little storm off the Queensland coast
