The two companies have come together to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our time: keeping cities safe from flooding in an era of intensifying climate extremes.
In the first part of this guide, we explored how numerical weather prediction models simulate the atmosphere, from observational data and data assimilation to model grids and parameterisation. Modern forecasting goes further by combining global and regional models, ensemble systems and advanced computational techniques to better predict weather and its uncertainty.

During the night and in the morning a few clouds are expected and more are to come after noon. With temperatures near freezing, precipitation is likely sleet. The sun will not be visible. A very high chance of Precipitation near 90% is forecast. Temperatures peaking at 44 °F. Overnight into Friday blows a light breeze (4 to 8 mph). In the course of day a gentle breeze is expected (8 to 12 mph). From time to time gusts could reach up to 33 mph. Winds blowing overnight from Northwest and by day from South. The weather forecast for Honchō for Friday is likely to be accurate.
Pressure: 1010 hPa
Timezone: JST (UTC +09:00h)

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 Honchō. 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.
