Until noon a few clouds are expected, and some more clouds roll across for this afternoon. The sun will not be visible. Temperature highs are likely to reach 52 °F. Overnight into Sunday it is calm. At the break of day light air is noticeable (1 to 4 mph). For the afternoon blows a light breeze (4 to 8 mph). Winds blowing overnight from West, in the morning from Northwest and during the afternoon from South. The weather forecast for Castellane for Sunday is expected to be very accurate.
Pressure: 1025 hPa
Timezone: CET (UTC +01:00h)
The location marker is placed on Castellane. This animation shows the precipitation radar for the selected time range, as well as a 2h forecast. Orange crosses indicate lightning. Data provided by nowcast.de (available in USA, Europe, Australia). Drizzle or light snow fall might be invisible for the radar. Precipitation intensity is colour coded, ranging from turquoise to red.
The real-time satellite image combines visible light during daytime with infrared radiation during nighttime. At night, the image is not dark as infrared radiation can detect temperature differences. Unfortunately, low clouds and fog are difficult to distinguish from ground temperatures and thus can be almost invisible during the night. Meteosat satellite images for Europe are updated in real-time every 5 minutes. GOES-16/GOES-17 (North & South America) and Himawari (Asia) images update every 10 minutes.
Precipitation is estimated from radar and satellites. Precipitation estimates from satellites are less accurate at night than during daytime.
