Rain in Arnstadt: What You Need to Know
Rain in Arnstadt follows the terrain of Thuringian valley — the Saale (Elbe tributary) catchment means that upstream rainfall can change local conditions faster than forecasts refresh.

The Arnstadt rain radar in RainViewer runs on DWD data — Germany's national meteorological service, 17 Doppler stations, 5-minute scans. Every pixel on the map represents actual radar returns, not a model output.
