Short summary
In this study a precipitation nowcasting method is developed which relies on satellite products and automatic weather station data only. It thus omits ground based radar observations which are not readily available in large parts of the world. The system shows improved skill when compared to numerical weather prediction models for analysis and for lead times up to one hour. This type of nowcasting could be valuable in data sparse regions where radar observations are lacking or of poor quality.
