|
Up to 14 days ahead |
| Frequency of the updates | Forecasts based on |
|---|---|
|
2 to 4 times per day |
Numerical Weather Prediction models |
|
every 5, 10, or 15 minutes |
Cloud Motion Vector model |
In other words, a revised forecast is available every 5/10/15 minutes for next hours, and a revised forecast for next day is typically available every 6-12 hours
