Mean sea level pressure and 6h precipitation
These charts show forecasts of Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP - surface pressure reduced to mean sea level), and 6h precipitation from the ECMWF Control forecast (ex-HRES).
MSLP is shown with black contours - isobars every 5 hPa.
Precipitation which includes all precipitation types (rain, snow etc.) is represented using colour shades and has units of mm of rainfall equivalent.
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.
