A forecast map layer covering the UK showing precipitation. Precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow and hail. Single tile map layer images are provided three hourly from T+0 to T+36. The map layer is provided without a map, the boundary box for this image is 48 to 61 degrees north and 12 degrees west to 5 degrees east. The image layers are currently made available in a Mercator projection, it is the same projection used by Bing maps, OpenStreetMap, Google maps, MapQuest, Yahoo maps, and others.
