Surfers, maritime experts, and ocean enthusiasts can now benefit from a significant advancement in wave forecasting.
From a meteorological and climatological standpoint, 2024 was a very diverse year, characterised by a wide range of extreme events. A few days ago, 2024 has officially been declared the warmest year on record. Below, we revisit and elaborate on some notable events from each month of the year.

The location marker is placed on Isle of Skye. 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.
