On May 30th 1988 more technological advances were made to allow the introduction of 'Rain Radar' where the heaviness of the rainfall could be shown as an animated sequence. Shown by using shades of blue, yellow and green, deepening from light to dark. Later in '88 the flat map look disappears, instead new map designs featuring mountains and land shaded are introduced.
