Choose Recent Rainfall for a defined accumulation window or Seasonal Rainfall for the region’s agricultural season. Early Estimates is updated every five days, while the +forecast version adds a 15-day outlook. Keep that forecast extension separate from the rainfall estimate when assessing a developing season.
