Rain in Leimen: What You Need to Know

Leimen occupies Hohenlohe plateau, with the Jagst or Kocher (Neckar tributaries) as the dominant hydrological feature. When rain falls upstream, the live radar shows whether it's heading toward Leimen before any forecast updates.

Forecasts for Leimen are calibrated across all of Baden-Wurttemberg — which means Hohenlohe plateau topography and Jagst or Kocher (Neckar tributaries) drainage patterns specific to Leimen are smoothed away. The live radar keeps them.

RainViewer pulls data from Germany's Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) — 17 dual-polarization Doppler stations scanning every 5 minutes. For Leimen, that means a live map updated within seconds of each scan, no smoothing applied.
