RainViewer Radar Coverage in Hendaye
Rain data for Hendaye, France comes from Météo-France — the French national meteorological service — via its ARAMIS radar network of 31 Doppler stations covering metropolitan France.

Scans update every 5 minutes and are processed into the ARAMIS mosaic within seconds of each scan cycle — no smoothing, no averaging delay. From Hendaye's position on the map, the radar composite shows coverage across the surrounding region continuously, including neighboring departments and cross-border coverage where relevant.
