Weather event generation

When a weather event is linked to one or more areas of interest, IRIS Focus starts to monitor the weather data to look for conditions where all the criteria of the weather event are met. In the case of weather radar data, IRIS Focus monitors the data received from all the radars in range. When IRIS Focus finds a match, it counts this as a weather event and shows it on the map.

If a weather event is not linked to any area of interest, IRIS Focus does not run comparison checks for that event, and thus, does not display the event icon on the map.

When an event definition consists of several criteria (for example, CAPPI and Lightning), both criteria must occur on the same geographical area in order for IRIS Focus to count this as an event. That is, the geographical areas must at least partly overlap on the map.
