Mannar District

Satellite rain against each division's own record, updated Tue 10 Nov, 13:17

Has Mannar district had unusual rain in the last 3 days?

Not unusual

No. In the 3 days to Tue 10 Nov, 07:30, satellite rainfall was not in the wettest 1% of 3-day periods since 2000 for any DS division in Mannar district. 5 of its 5 DS divisions had rain among their wettest 10% of 3-day periods, which is common. That is not a statement about safety; local downpours can be missed.

Each division's rain against its own record since June 2000: "Unusual here (3 days a month)" means wetter than 90% of periods of the same length; "Rare here" 95%; "Very rare here" 99%. "No data" means a total or baseline is missing, not that it was dry.

Satellite dataNASA · IMERG Early

Rain up to Tue 10 Nov, 07:30 (about 6 h ago; NASA publishes it about 5 hours after the rain).

Compared with 2000-06-01 to 2026-09-24. NASA GPM

Limits
  • This is a satellite estimate (NASA IMERG Early, about 11 km cells), not a warning and not a gauge reading.
  • The satellite reads low over the hills, and an 11 km cell smooths out local downpours. "Not unusual" never means safe.
