(How is my rain rate calculated?)
 
==Cumulus got the forecast wrong!==
Cumulus uses a forecast based on the Zambretti Forecaster (see Google). Note that this is a 'forecast' for the following 12 hours or so; it is not a 'nowcast' (what the weather is doing now). Please regard the forecast as 'for entertainment purposes only'. Do not base any decisions on it, and bear in mind that it is a very simple calculation based on only a few basic parameters. Some people get reasonable results, others do not. You can try tweaking the pressure extreme settings, but don't expect the forecast to be as good as that provided by the agencies which have invested millions in their forecasting systems.
