What do the colours represent?
Density of precipitation methinks, red yellow green blue from high to low
Edit: actually that makes no sense. Maybe it's height of rain cover with the above colours, and the black spots indicate density?
Shit, I actually don't know.
Looks fearsome though
Edit2: Best I can find, but it's not that parseable

Looks like a standard precipitation map to me. Goes purple->red->yellow-->green->blue
what are the dark spots though
Each colour has a scale too, dark green is heavier than light green
Oh yeah, I see darker spots in the yellow. Good spot, cheers
