There are many real time weather and precipitation radar web services for the US and a few other countries, but not so many for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Attached is an .mxb project that contains a really nice WMS data source I found, with many useful layers. The map in the project uses three as examples: As described in http://oiswww.eumetsat.org/IPPS/html/MSG/PRODUCTS/ _mpe - multi-sensor precipitation estimate - useful for precipitation. Extends to the East beyond most other layers. _cth - cloud top height As described in http://oiswww.eumetsat.org/IPPS/html/MSG/RGB/ _microphysics - composite RGB useful for cloud analysis. _natural - a more or less natural look. Water clouds (not snow or ice) appear whitish. I've been using the _mpe layer over the _natural layer, to get an impression of precipitation over cloud cover. Enjoy! PS: I'm still looking for real-time weather radar coverage in Europe and Asia. Also, it would be great to find something like eumetsat web services for Asia, Oz, etc. Any leads?
