The data behind the Obernai rain radar comes from Météo-France — 31 ARAMIS Doppler stations, scans every 5 minutes, processed within seconds. No smoothing, no averages, no delay.

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 Obernai's position on the map, the radar composite shows coverage across the surrounding region continuously, including neighboring departments and cross-border coverage where relevant.
