RainViewer draws on Météo-France's ARAMIS Doppler network — 31 stations, 5-minute scans, dual-polarization — to show Cernay's rain in real time as it develops.

RainViewer Radar Coverage in Cernay
Rain data for Cernay, France comes from Météo-France — the French national meteorological service — via its ARAMIS radar network of 31 Doppler stations covering metropolitan France. Most stations operate in dual-polarization mode, meaning the radar returns are processed for both liquid and frozen precipitation and deliver more accurate rainfall estimates than single-polarization systems. Scans update every 5 minutes and are processed into the ARAMIS mosaic within seconds of each scan cycle — no smoothing, no averaging delay. From Cernay's position on the map, the radar composite shows coverage across the surrounding region continuously, including neighboring departments and cross-border coverage where relevant.
