Spire

This is what a storm looks like to a hyperspectral microwave sounder.

Spire’s HyMS launched at the end of 2025, the first satellite of its kind. It captures hundreds of microwave channels and reads temperature, humidity, rain and snow in vertical detail nothing before it could match.

The footage is a real pass over the Atlantic and eastern North America on 22 October: a storm system off Maine and Nova Scotia, in 3D. That same day, Gerald van der Grijn covered the sounder in our winter webinar, and made the point that however good your model is, the forecast starts with the analysis.

The full Winter 2026-27 outlook, North America and Europe sessions, cover what a record El Niño means for gas, power and commodity positions through Q1.

El Niño is still strengthening as winter approaches, with potential for the strongest event on record since 1950.

But no two strong El Niños have played out alike. Cold snaps still hit inside mild winters, and in Europe the link is much weaker. For traders positioning through the first quarter of 2027, and anyone managing winter fuel supply, the seasonal average only tells part of the story.

Join us for our 2026-27 Winter Weather Outlook webinar with insights from our expert meteorologists: a region-by-region view of the season, the week-to-week swings the seasonal average hides, and live Q&A.

Sessions:
- North America Winter Weather Outlook: Thursday, October 22, 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT
- Europe Winter Weather Outlook: Tuesday, October 27, 2:00 PM CET / 1:00 PM GMT
