# Cloud map

Also called: satellite image, cloud forecast.

Tonight's map of clouds around you: Meteosat satellite images for the last hours, then a week of forecast.

The satellite part shows where clouds really are (EUMETSAT's Meteosat cloud mask, every 15 minutes); the forecast part shows where they're expected, hour by hour, from Open-Meteo's weather models. Drag the slider or press play to watch them move.

**In AstroPilot:** On Tonight, below the hour-by-hour forecast.
