DMI HARMONIE-AROME Rainfall Forecast

About this data

• DMI Harmonie forecast: DMI HARMONIE-AROME Europe 2 km deterministic – Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), CC BY 4.0, via Open-Meteo Open Data
• Model runs: Eight runs a day, every three hours from 00 GMT, each becoming available a little under three hours after its nominal time and reaching T+59 hours in hourly steps. HARMONIE-AROME is run by the Danish Meteorological Institute on a 2km grid across Europe, fine enough to resolve showers and hill rain as UKV does, so it is an independent second opinion at the same scale.
• Trial pipeline: this feed is built by a second, newer data pipeline (a small always-on server rather than the site's usual scheduled jobs), run alongside the existing one to see how well it holds up. The freshness dot above shows how old its newest data is.
• Deterministic, not a probability: this is a single model solution, so it shows one possible outcome rather than a range. Treat it as guidance on pattern and timing, not as a forecast of exact totals at a place.
• Comparing models: all seven render to the same map extent with the same colour scale, so a colour means the same millimetres whichever is selected. Differences you see between them are the models disagreeing, not the maps being drawn differently.
• Isobars (MSLP): off by default; switch on in the panel above (or in the bottom bar, on a wide enough screen) to add pressure lines over the rainfall. H/L pressure centres are labelled with their central pressure in hPa.
