Modelling a city's climate is harder than it looks – and this webinar shows exactly why that matters.
Terrain is one of the quiet architects of weather. Even when the larger weather pattern is set by fronts, pressure systems and the jet stream, hills, valleys and mountain ranges can decide where clouds form, where rain falls, where wind accelerates and where cold air lingers long after sunrise.

The night and the afternoon it is mostly cloudy. At the break of day the sky remains overcast. The sun will not be visible. Temperature highs are likely to reach 48 °F. During the night and in the morning light air is noticeable (1 to 4 mph). For the afternoon blows a light breeze (4 to 8 mph). Winds blowing overnight from Northwest and by day from West. The weather forecast for Point Kakul for Friday is expected to be very accurate.
Pressure: 1028 hPa
Timezone: AKDT (UTC -08:00h)

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.

The location marker is placed on Point Kakul. 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.
