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.

Overnight into Friday it is mostly cloudy. And in the course of day even more clouds will move in. The sun will not be visible. There is only a low chance of Precipitation (around 30%). Temperatures peaking at 32 °F. Night and day a strong breeze is blowing (25 to 32 mph). From time to time gusts could reach up to 43 mph. Winds blowing from Northwest. The weather forecast for Virden for Friday is likely to be accurate.

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 Virden. This animation shows the precipitation radar for the selected time range, as well as a 1h 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.
