@reussae @MeteoKenya FASTA forecasts extreme weather (storms). Light rain is not visible to the satellite, so it will not show. The FASTA app is designed to identify storm activity over the next 1-2 hours, to help you to make short-term decisions to minimise damage, avoid disruption, and stay safe

For instance, being aware of an impending storm could give you enough time to: - cover crop harvests - delay spraying crops with pricey pesticides that might wash away - inform a revised transport schedule to avoid delays - avoid fishing in potentially fatal conditions
