Weather forecasting has moved from a nightly broadcast to the centre of operational decision-making. The meteoblue Weather & Climate Summit in Basel this October will examine how forecasting reached that position and where the field is heading.
Was last summer unusually dry? Will tomorrow’s winds be strong enough to affect outdoor work? What temperatures should a building be designed to withstand? Each question calls for weather information, but answering them requires different kinds of data.

In the afternoon it will be cloudy and rainy. The sun will not be visible. With 60% probability of precipitation we are at the upper end of a moderate chance. Temperatures as high as 72 °F are foreseen. The whole day winds near gale force (32 to 39 mph). From time to time gusts could reach up to 53 mph. Winds blowing at night and in the morning from Northeast and during the afternoon from North. The weather forecast for Duck for Thursday can be accurate in parts but deviations are expected.

The animation shows the wind conditions of the storm at 200m above ground, which corresponds well with expected gusts at the surface. Choose other time steps to see the forecast of the storm.
The location marker is placed on Duck. 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.
