On the regular satellite images, you can see an optimal combination of visible light and infrared satellite imagery. During the day, the satellite shows cloud images similar to what clouds look like from space with the naked eye but highly zoomed in. During the dark hours of the day, it switches to infrared satellite images, allowing you to still see cloud cover.

With infrared satellite images, you can also see where clouds are moving and where clearings occur during the dark hours of the day. Especially high clouds associated with weather fronts and heavy showers are well distinguished on these images. The clouds are visible in white colors on the infrared images. During the day, the infrared images are less usable as the contrast decreases.

On this satellite image, you can see a combination of satellite imagery (visible and infrared combined) and the precipitation radar. This allows you to see both clouds and precipitation approaching.
