Visibility
Base Time: Thu 16 Apr 2026 12 UTC T+0 Valid time: Thu 16 Apr 2026 12 UTC
Predicting near surface visibility is dependent on predicting the correct dynamic and thermodynamic conditions in the boundary layer which can be highly variable. Fog is an extremely important weather hazard, but particularly difficult to predict.
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.
