Weather help?

Question

on the weather radars how bad is light green, yellow, white and so on. List from lest worst to worst please!

Answer 1

The colours (ozzie spelling) are not automatic but are put there by the program designers. I don't think there is any one international standard. At a guess, I would say that the lighter the colour (there's that spelling again) the lower the rainfall or the intensity of rainfall.

Answer 2

Light Green- is usually just rain to steady rain.

Yellow- is heavy rain which could be acompanied by lightning.

Red- (which would be next) is usually defined as a strong t-storm with heavy rain, maybe hail and strong winds. (Strong Storm)

White- Heavy rain, strong winds, possibly hail, and frequent lightning. (Severe Storm)
