For many purposes a weather forecast or a current weather image is needed — especially for planning motorcycle tours. I have searched the web and compiled current, free weather images here for viewing or download. The images are continuously broadcast by weather satellites in geostationary orbit and made available online across various European servers.
Here I have also put together a page with live weather cameras in Germany. |
