Abstract


Precipitation is one of the most important parameters to consider while analyzing risks from natural weather threats like floods and droughts. To prevent significant infrastructural and financial damage and loss, a good analysis of data and its visual presentation must be enabled. This also requires a reliable source of precipitation data for the region of interest. It is important to interpret and visualize the data obtained from meteorological stations to make an assessment, a forecast, or issue a warning. This paper describes the development of an Android application that enables visualization and analysis of average annual precipitation data for the period from 1946 to 2019, in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Necessary precipitation data were acquired on the request from the official weather monitoring service for the Republic of Serbia (RHMSS).
