Weather satellites are used to monitor Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice. This information is vital for warning and forecasting severe weather events, such as tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and wildfires. There are two main types of satellites: geostationary and polar orbiting. Both can measure atmospheric and surface parameters such as air temperature, cloud cover, moisture…
Satellite weather is a great way to see the current weather conditions. You can view a variety of weather data on this page, including temperature, precipitation, wind speed and more.
