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. Unlike traditional satellite imagery that relies on a single satellite source, PredictWind combines data from multiple geostationary weather satellites to create a seamless global cloud imagery product.

We utilise all available channels across five major geostationary satellite systems:

Each satellite uses different sensors, resolutions and viewing angles. Our processing system extracts cloud information from each source and then works to standardise and blend the data into a single consistent global image. This removes many of the visible boundaries that typically occur when viewing imagery from multiple satellite providers.

The system primarily relies on Infrared (IR) channels, allowing cloud detection to work consistently both day and night. This provides reliable 24-hour global coverage, which is particularly important for offshore and marine users operating outside daylight hours.

By combining multiple satellite sources and processing them into a unified product, PredictWind delivers a more complete view of global cloud cover and weather systems than any individual satellite can provide on its own.

We are also actively developing support for visible satellite channels, which will further enhance cloud detail and image quality during daylight hours.
