This pair of images from the VIIRS instrument on the NOAA-20 satellite shows the presence of large amounts of fog and stratus over much of the United Kingdom on the 19th December 2021. On the left-hand side is a night-time image, taken at 02:01 UTC, from the day-night band of VIIRS. This channel is able to detect very low light levels at night-time, and the fog shows up clearly from reflected moonlight in this example (while emitted light from towns, cities and North Sea oil platforms is also...

Europe's first operational polar-orbiting weather satellite, Metop-A, was withdrawn from service on 15th November 2021, after a succcessful 15-year lifetime. The image above shows a view of the UK using one of the AVHRR imager's thermal infrared channels, the data coming from the very final Metop-A overpass received at the Met Office, at around 9 o'clock in the morning. As well as images such as the above, Metop-A has also provided data which have been fundamental to improvements in the accur...

This composite image, taken from three of the visible channels on the Japanese Himawari-8 imager AHI at 07:00 UTC on the 26th September 2021, shows Typhoon Mindulle passing across the western Pacific south of Japan. At this time, it was classed as a Category 5 super typhoon, and the imagery shows that it had by then developed a well-defined eye. Although the typhoon weakened during subsequent days, it still brought violent winds and heavy rain to the Izu Islands and the east coast of Japan, d...

A record-breaking heatwave in late June and July affected many parts of Western North America as well as parts of Russia and Europe. Temperatures reached 49.6C in Lytton, British Colombia and wildfires broke out in many places. This image from near the edge of the GOES East field of view shows multiple huge pyrocumulonimbus plumes developing from the heat of these fires in British Columbia on 1stJuly. The viewing geometry and the time of day means it's possible to see a side-on view of these...

Desert dust, stirred up by storms in the Sahara desert, is carried over the UK by the wind. On 1st April large quantities of dust reached the UK and can be clearly seen in this true colour satellite image from the NASA/NOAA operated satellite NOAA-20. Learn more about Saharan dust.

An area of low pressure, named 'Filomena' by Spain's meteorological agency passed over the Iberian Peninsular between January 8th and 10th bringing unusually high snow amounts to parts of Spain and Portugal. Residents of Madrid saw the deepest snow accumulations in the city for over 50 years with 50-60 cm of snow lying in some parts. Relatively cloud-free conditions on January 11thallowed this image to be captured by the NASA/NOAA operated Suomi-NPP satellite, showing the extent of the snow c...

The satellite animation is a great tool to understand weather development and movement of clouds, and is often used by meteorologists for short term weather forecasting. The global satellite composite is generated from 5 different satellites (METEOSAT, GOES-16, GOES-17, HIMAWARI, METEOSAT-IODC) and processed into an Earth-colour image for better readability.
