Rain in Oberviechtach: What You Need to Know
Oberviechtach sits in Franconian lowland, where the Main (Rhine tributary) defines both the landscape and the flood risk. The rain radar shows what's happening on your street right now — not what a model predicted hours ago.
Forecasts for Oberviechtach are calibrated across all of Bavaria — which means Franconian lowland topography and Main (Rhine tributary) drainage patterns specific to Oberviechtach are smoothed away. The live radar keeps them.
DWD's 17 dual-polarization Doppler radars scan Germany every 5 minutes and feed RainViewer directly — no smoothing, no interpolation. For Oberviechtach in Franconian lowland, that means the map reflects real conditions, not averaged ones.
