Bad Honnef occupies upland Eifel catchment, with the Eifel stream network as the dominant hydrological feature. When rain falls upstream, the live radar shows whether it's heading toward Bad Honnef before any forecast updates.

DWD's 17 dual-polarization Doppler radars scan Germany every 5 minutes and feed RainViewer directly — no smoothing, no interpolation. For Bad Honnef in upland Eifel catchment, that means the map reflects real conditions, not averaged ones.
