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.
As the Northern Hemisphere moves from summer into autumn, the North Atlantic atmosphere begins a seasonal reorganisation. Faster cooling at high latitudes strengthens the temperature contrast between polar and subtropical air, influencing the jet stream and creating a more favourable environment for mid-latitude weather systems.

During the night and in the first hours of the day clear skies prevail, but in the afternoon a few clouds are expected. It is a sunny day. Temperatures peaking at 93 °F. The UV-Index climbs up to 7, don't forget to use sunscreen when spending the day outside. Overnight into Saturday light air is noticeable (1 to 4 mph). In the course of day a gentle breeze is expected (8 to 12 mph). Winds blowing overnight from Southeast and by day from Southwest. The weather forecast for Zengtian for Saturday is likely to be accurate.
Pressure: 1009 hPa
Timezone: CST (UTC +08:00h)

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 Zengtian. 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.
