※The real time rainfall map around the Japan islands.
Watch the global Rainfall in real time!
Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) has been developed by using multi satellite products. The rainfall map is provided in real time and visualized every 30 minutes on the JAXA Realtime Rainfall Watch website.
Please have a look at the website if you would like to watch the rainfall more in detail including rainfall on specified dates.
