Hybrid Satellite Imagery replaces the previous Satellite Imagery service in PredictWind and is available on the Basic subscription and above.

It combines satellite imagery from multiple sources into a single high-resolution global image, giving you a clearer view of cloud cover and weather systems worldwide.

You can also overlay:

all on the same screen for a complete view of current weather conditions.

Use the Layer menu to display:

These overlays can be viewed individually or together on top of this Satellite Imagery.

Tip: Hybrid Satellite imagery files can be large. For faster downloads and lower satellite data usage, keep your download area as small as practical. Download this data on a low bandwidth device such as the Iridium GO! as a smaller area after downloading your WIND GRIBs etc.

Satellite imagery shows where weather systems are right now. By adding Rain Radar, Lightning and GMDSS overlays, you can better understand the strength, movement and potential impact of those systems.

With all layers displayed together, you can:

For example, a cloud band visible on satellite imagery may appear harmless on its own. Add Rain Radar and Lightning overlays and you can quickly identify whether it contains heavy rain, thunderstorms or severe weather.

Global Rain Radar can be displayed directly on top of Hybrid Satellite Imagery, allowing you to see rainfall and cloud development together on a single map.

This provides greater awareness of approaching rain bands, fronts and squalls, helping you understand not just where the clouds are, but what weather they are producing.

Hybrid Satellite Imagery brings together:

into a single weather observation screen, giving you the most complete picture of developing weather systems available in PredictWind.
