It is within about 1 second of mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). and estimated from weather radar. Is it evidence of rainfall bunching as mentioned in the recent Deep Dive given by Alex Deakin? Maybe.
