GOMD / WORLDWIDE PRECIPITATION
World rainfall atlas
Explore the world, find a city or play stored months. Monthly rainfall and wind come from the GOMD database.

REQUESTED MONTH · DB TIMELINE
Soft transition blends two stored monthly maps over 0.6 seconds; it is not daily rainfall motion or an intermediate observation. With reduced motion enabled, the switch is instant.

FLOWING WIND LINES
ERA5 · 10 m monthly mean windWaiting for the corresponding rainfall frame.
—
Lines use real eastward and northward wind components stored in the DB. Wind is from ERA5 even when rainfall is CHIRPS or IMERG. Motion shows the monthly mean direction, not storm movement within the month. Animation speed is visually scaled; original 0.25° values remain in the DB. No lines appear for months whose wind has not been imported. Reduced motion shows static direction arrows.

NATIVE-RESOLUTION DATA IN THE GOMD DATABASE
Monthly precipitation history
Click the map or enter latitude and longitude. The query reads the imported native source cell from the database. “Not yet imported” and the source’s “No data” are distinct states.
No location selected yet.
Points show actual monthly values; no connecting line or intermediate values are generated. Missing values are preserved as “No data”.

Coverage, source and method
Reanalysis and satellite grid estimates are not in-situ station measurements or country/city means. Original view shows nearest native DB cells. Weather view applies smooth color blending between valid neighboring cells for display only; DB values, location queries and CSV remain unchanged. Playback shows real stored months in sequence. The optional soft transition is visual only; it does not calculate new precipitation values between months. Not-yet-imported, uncovered and source-missing cells are never filled with zero.
