Sunshine duration, last 24 hours
Base Time: Sun 27 Sep 2026 12 UTC T+24 Valid time: Mon 28 Sep 2026 12 UTC (T+24)
Sunshine for any point is assessed using the model representation of cloud layers to decide how much direct solar (shortwave) radiation reaches the Earth's surface.
Forecast charts and data
We provide current forecasts, climate reanalyses and specific datasets. These are available via the web, point-to-point dissemination, data servers and broadcasting.
Forecasts, analyses, climate reanalyses, re-forecasts and multi-model data are available from our archive (MARS) or via dedicated data servers or via point-to-point dissemination.
Researchers, WMO members, commercial users and satellite data providers can gain access to ECMWF forecast products under one of our various licence agreement types.
