Weather forecasting has moved from a nightly broadcast to the centre of operational decision-making. The meteoblue Weather & Climate Summit in Basel this October will examine how forecasting reached that position and where the field is heading.
Was last summer unusually dry? Will tomorrow’s winds be strong enough to affect outdoor work? What temperatures should a building be designed to withstand? Each question calls for weather information, but answering them requires different kinds of data.

Until noon the weather is changing with a mix of clear and cloudy skies and a chance of showers. For this afternoon it will clear up until only a few clouds remain. The sun will not be visible. With 60% probability of precipitation we are at the upper end of a moderate chance. Temperature highs are likely to reach 74 °F. With UV-Index rising to 9, sun protection is strongly recommended. Until noon expect a moderate breeze (12 to 18 mph). Friday afternoon blows a fresh breeze (18 to 25 mph). From time to time gusts could reach up to 29 mph. Winds blowing at night and in the morning from Southeast and during the afternoon from East. The weather forecast for West Gladstone for Friday is likely to be accurate.
Pressure: 1026 hPa
Timezone: AEST (UTC +10:00h)
The location marker is placed on West Gladstone. 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.
