As weather-dependent generation reshapes the grid, accurate forecasts have become the difference between a well-run energy portfolio and an expensive guess, and the energy team is heading to Munich to talk about it.
Weather patterns are often connected across vast distances. A cold winter in Europe or an active Atlantic storm season can sometimes be traced back to oceanic and atmospheric anomalies occurring far beyond the region itself.

Temperatures as high as 86 °F are foreseen. The whole day blows a light breeze (4 to 8 mph). From time to time gusts could reach up to 16 mph. Winds blowing overnight from East, in the morning from Southeast and during the afternoon from Northwest. The weather forecast for Vaals for Sunday can be accurate in parts but deviations are expected. Check again for latest updates.
Pressure: 1024 hPa
Timezone: CEST (UTC +02:00h)
By comparing today's temperatures to 40 years of historical data we can see whether today's forecast is unusually warm (red areas) or cold (blue areas). Coloured dots show observed actual temperatures from professional and private weather stations.

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 Vaals. 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.
