This article presents an overview of the state of the art of very short period quantitative precipitation forecasting. The authors draw primarily on work presented during the sessions on ‘Nowcasting’ held at the 6th Symposium on the Hydrological Applications of Weather Radar, in Melbourne, Australia, from 2nd to 4th February 2004, and also include some other work in order to give a more complete picture of the field.
