Quick help
How to read the precipitation radar
The radar shows where precipitation has already formed and how it is moving. Three things are worth watching.
Watch the intensity
Lighter shades mean weaker precipitation; darker blue and purple areas mean heavier rainfall.
Compare with the forecast
The radar shows the present situation. For planning the hours ahead, check the hourly forecast as well.

Alongside the radar, pick a time range: the coming hours, tomorrow in detail, or the whole week.
What does the Tapachula weather radar show?
The Tapachula precipitation radar plays recent measurements in sequence so you can see where rain, showers or thunderstorms formed, and how they move and change intensity.
Radar is best for short-range decisions. Exact arrival times are not guaranteed — always cross-check the Tapachula hourly forecast.
Useful things to know about the radar
How fresh is the Tapachula radar?
The map loads the latest available radar frames (roughly the last 1–2 hours) and plays them as an animation.
Does the radar show exactly when the rain will arrive?
The direction of movement can be estimated, but precipitation may strengthen, weaken or change course along the way, so an exact arrival time cannot be guaranteed.
Why is no precipitation visible on the map?
If there is no coloured radar blob near Tapachula, there is probably no measurable precipitation nearby, or the data refresh is delayed.
The radar is indicative only; in severe weather always follow the official warnings as well.
