Temperatures as high as 66 °F are foreseen. During the night and in the first hours of the day blows a light breeze (4 to 8 mph). For the afternoon a gentle breeze is expected (8 to 12 mph). Gusts to 29 mph are possible. Winds blowing overnight from North, in the morning from West and during the afternoon from Northeast. The weather forecast for Rubí for Wednesday is likely to be accurate.

The location marker is placed on Rubí. 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.
