Vaduz, the capital of the small Alpine principality of Liechtenstein, sits along the Rhine river between Switzerland and Austria, and receives around 1,050 mm (about 41 inches) of precipitation a year, with a summer peak from convective thunderstorms intensified by the surrounding mountains. The steep terrain rising directly behind the town means heavy rain can trigger fast-moving flash floods and landslides on the slopes above, a recognized seasonal hazard. The Rhine itself has a history of flooding the valley floor during periods of sustained heavy regional rain. Because mountain terrain here creates such sharp local weather variation, radar tracking, drawn from neighboring Swiss and Austrian networks, is a genuinely valuable tool.
