NASA's TRMM satellite captured rainfall data on Typhoon Vicente on July 23, 2012. Vicente had mostly light to moderate rainfall -- seen in the yellow, green and blue areas, where rain was falling between 20 and 40 millimeters (.78 to 1.57 inches) per hour. However, some heavy rainfall (falling at 2 inches/50 mm per hour) and hot towering clouds (in red) were seen around the center of circulation.
