Which current satellite images are available?

The overview includes current imagery from GOES-18, GOES-19, Meteosat-9, Meteosat-10, Himawari-9, FY-2G, FY-2H, FY-3D, METOP-B, METOP-C, NOAA-20, NOAA-21 and Suomi-NPP.

Are the satellite images live?

The images are not live video streams. They are updated regularly with newly received satellite data and show weather conditions close to real time, depending on the satellite, reception and processing.

Which weather products can I view?

Available products include True Color, Natural Color, infrared cloud imagery, visible channels, dust, volcanic ash, fire detection, fire temperature, cloud-top height and 24-hour timelapses.

Current live satellite images: weather from space

Explore continuously updated weather satellite images from GOES, Meteosat, Himawari, NOAA, METOP, Suomi-NPP and Fengyun. The imagery shows clouds, storms, infrared weather products, dust, fire and volcanic ash across Europe, Africa, the Americas, the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Asia-Pacific region.

The data is received directly or through my own EUMETCast ground station. From around 831 GB of raw data per day, selected weather images are decoded and assembled locally before being published on this page.
