On 12th October 2021, IFS cycle 47r3 was implemented, which included the new "Moist Physics" package, and as such, there have been changes in the characteristics of many forecast fields. 

Further information on the impacts of 47r3 on surface weather representation is available on the Forecast User Portal at this link, including examination of a range of synoptic situations involving precipitation, and other variables. 

Excerpt
We welcome any feedback, perspectives and experiences from our forecast user community regarding any changes in precipitation forecasts in the tropics that have been noticed since the implementation of cycle 47r3.

Some of the types of feedback we're interested in could include changes noticed in the rainfall in a particular area/region of the tropics, or in relation to a particular type of event or synoptic situation, or more general observations.
