Forecasts are guidance, not a safety guarantee
Weather changes quickly and every data source has limitations. Use Climara as one planning tool, not as your only source for important decisions.
Last updated: 7 August 2026For dangerous conditions
Follow official warnings from your national meteorological service, emergency services, civil-protection authorities and local government. Call the appropriate emergency number when immediate help is required.
Forecast uncertainty
Numerical models describe possible future conditions. Their accuracy decreases with time and can be affected by terrain, urban areas, coastlines, fast-developing storms and sparse observations. A high probability does not guarantee an event, and a low probability does not make an event impossible.
Radar limitations
Radar coverage varies by country and location. Images may be delayed, unavailable, blocked by terrain or unable to represent precipitation at ground level accurately. Apparent motion does not guarantee that precipitation will reach the selected point.
Radar-adjusted short-range probabilities
For the first few forecast hours, Climara may raise the displayed precipitation probability when fresh, persistent radar observations support a nearby or approaching precipitation signal. The original model probability remains the baseline and is not reduced by radar. These percentages are automated nowcast estimates, not observed probabilities or guarantees that rain will occur.
Automated risk indicators
Storm, hail, wind, rainfall and similar indicators are automated estimates. They are not official alerts and do not confirm that a hazardous event will occur at a specific place.
Specialised activities
Climara is not designed for aviation, marine navigation, emergency response, construction safety, medical decisions or other activities requiring certified or professional weather services. Use specialised authorised sources for those purposes.
No guarantee
Climara makes reasonable efforts to present available information clearly, but does not guarantee completeness, accuracy, timeliness, availability or suitability for a particular purpose.
