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.

The location marker is placed on Wick. 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.
