Hourly conditions are weather model estimates. Later forecast days are less certain, and missing fields are labeled. meteoblue is an external comparison; this app does not reproduce its forecast data.

Retrieval time means when this app received a source response, not a new model run. Providers update at different intervals. Older observations and failed refreshes are labeled.

Orange and red in the SWALIM susceptibility layer indicate higher potential for flooding. Elevation alone does not establish flood risk; river levels, drainage and exposure also matter. These terrain colours are separate from dated observations of flood water.

RECENT OBSERVATIONS · SEPARATE FROM FORECASTS

Satellite-detected flood water

Checking latest satellite flood products…
Select a city or map point to check recent radar observation coverage.

Satellite classifications show water detected at observation time. They may miss flooding or misclassify water; water can since have moved or receded. Unobserved pixels and transparent areas do not confirm safety. These layers do not measure affected population.

Flood susceptibility is a static terrain-based screening layer. Historical flood-prone areas are separate evidence. Neither shows current inundation or predicted flood depth. Click any map point for its elevation and a SWALIM layer query.

Open the selected city or map point in Google Earth, Maps or Street View. Imagery dates and street-level coverage vary by location.

Reference geography is available offline. Satellite imagery is a contextual basemap, separate from the dated flood observations above.

Days 8–14 have greater uncertainty. Rainfall screening is an exploratory indicator; it does not predict inundation or issue an official warning.

River outlook / GloFAS

Model grid ≈5 km. The selected river cell may differ from the local channel. Zero modeled discharge does not establish that a city is flood-free. River dates use UTC.

Copernicus API observations / radar & optical

White patches in true-color imagery are often clouds. Brightness alone does not identify water. Check clouds at the location before assessing flooding; Sentinel-1 radar can support inspection when clouds obscure the ground.
Checking public Copernicus APIs…

The public catalogue API returns satellite acquisitions. Dated flood classifications come from the separate Copernicus CEMS radar service on the map. Scene-wide cloud cover does not measure cloud directly over this city. Custom processed Sentinel-2 imagery requires Copernicus OAuth credentials on the server.

Know what the data can tell you.

Rainfall screening: lower <10 mm/day; watch 10–24.9 mm/day; elevated ≥25 mm/day. These app-defined thresholds are not calibrated flood probabilities. Local drainage, upstream rain, river levels and exposure determine actual flooding. Missing data are never treated as zero.

Copernicus Sentinel-2 true-colour imagery supports visual inspection; clouds can obscure water. The supplied true-colour view covers 12 October 2026 and is a dated reference. Its cloudCoverage=100 setting permits cloudy scenes; it does not measure local cloud cover. Sentinel-2 Browser imagery is not an alert feed. Copernicus CEMS Global Flood Monitoring supplies the separate radar flood classification shown on the map. No affected population or inundated area is estimated without evidence.
