IMERG data on Nangka

Caption

On Oct. 13 at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 UTC), NASA's IMERG estimated Tropical Storm Nangka was generating as much as 30 mm (1.18 inches of rain [dark pink]) around the center of circulation. Rainfall throughout most of the storm and in fragmented bands of thunderstorms to the north and east of the center, was occurring between 5 and 15 mm (0.2 to 0.6 inches/yellow and green colors) per hour. The rainfall data was overlaid on infrared imagery from Japan's Himawari-8 satellite.
