meteoblue supported several international teams in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2025, which took place across Australia from 20 to 27 August and contributed to advances in solar-powered mobility and sustainable innovation.
Record heat, massive wildfires, dusty skies, and stormy weather defined Europe’s meteorological summer in 2025 – a season that tested resilience and underscored the urgency of climate adaptation.

Overnight into Sunday there is a chance of thunderstorms and local showers. As more clouds move in during the day the sky becomes overcast but it should stay dry. 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 71 °F. On Sunday a gentle breeze is expected (8 to 12 mph). From time to time gusts could reach up to 28 mph. Winds blowing at night and in the morning from Southwest and during the afternoon from Northwest. The weather forecast for Essen for Sunday can be accurate in parts but deviations are expected. Check again for latest updates.

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 location marker is placed on Essen. 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.
