Finally, below the forecast visualisation you will find a brief description of the forecast shown.
Colorbar design
To highlight quintile probabilities, we’ve developed a custom colorbar centred around climatological values. A light grey band spans the range from 0.15 to 0.25, representing probabilities close to the climatology of 20%.
Below 0.15: Shades transition from grey to black in 0.03 intervals, indicating lower-than-normal probabilities.
Above 0.25: The palette shifts through cyan, blue, and purple in 0.05 intervals, capturing increasingly higher probabilities.
This colour scheme ensures intuitive interpretation of deviations from the expected climatological probability, making it easier to spot significant anomalies.
