Hi Micael. It is an excellent point that one person’s “heavy” is another person’s “light” when it comes to rain. To be sure, there is no universal standard for descriptive rain rates. We tried to go with a “best fit” by looking at how others do it (you can find a bit more detail in this topic: Rain Intensity values - #3 by WFmarketing )
Others have suggested a customizable scale (buckets/cats/dogs), but that would add a good deal of complexity to the app that most would not use. Your suggestion of three different regions is interesting… Do you know of any source that has attempted to do that?
I love the idea of letting the data decide - over time that would be a really interesting project (or masters thesis, perhaps?)
That’s the plan!
