6.2 µm WV (color enhanced) – 12 June, 2026, 06:20 UTC – A strong easterly wave situated over West Africa is evident in this water vapor image, seen near the eastern limb of GOES-East’s view. The expanding cirrus canopy marks vigorous deep convection within the tropical wave. 1/2

These disturbances are monitored during the hurricane season as they can travel across the Atlantic and lead to the formation of tropical cyclones. According to the National Hurricane Center, about 85% of major hurricanes (category 3 or more) can be traced to tropical waves. 2/2

GOES EAST Airmass RGB 300z – 4 June 2026, 06:10 UTC - A low-pressure system has formed near the southern tip of South America, and the airmass product clearly reveals an upper-level PV anomaly in the upper layers, depicted in reddish tones. 1/2

An upper-level trough is also visible in the 300-hPa geopotential field. High-level, thick ice clouds are shown in white, while warmer air masses with low upper-tropospheric humidity are shown in dark green. 2/2

True Colour RGB - 25 May, 10 UTC - MTG satellite imagery shows mostly cloud-free conditions across large parts of Europe. The absence of cloud cover is consistent with stable anticyclonic conditions and subsidence, which suppress cloud development and favour strong heating. 1/2

Such a synoptic pattern contributed to the development of a heatwave across Europe, with the UK breaking its highest May temperature record. The MTG True Colour RGB combines red, green, and blue visible channels to create realistic colours as perceived by the human eye. 2/2

FCI 10 min IR Sandwich - 20 May 2026, 15 UTC - Between Finland and Russia, a cold front initiates convection in a warm and moist airmass. This convective multicell system was quite long-lived, with active convection starting at 10 UTC and lightning prevailing until nighttime. 1/2

The Sandwich product is very good at distinguishing deep convection during the day, and it shows the cloud top features well, for example, an overshooting top in the middle in orange. The more the colour leans red, the colder the cloud top. 2/2

High Rate SEVIRI WV6.2 μm and Blended SEVIRI/LEO MW Precipitation and Morphologic Information – 11 May 2026, 18:30 UTC – Over central Europe, a precipitation area associated with a cold front can be seen, with locally enhanced precipitation within the frontal cloud band. 1/3

High Rate SEVIRI WV6.2 μm focuses on the water vapour absorption band, by showing the area of high humidity with white tones. The highest precipitation amounts are visible in shades of blue in the Blended SEVIRI/LEO MW Precipitation and Morphologic Information product. 2/3

Himawari Severe Storms RGB – 6 May 2026, 05:40 UTC – Tropical Storm 05W (FIVE) is located around 700 km south‑southeast of Guam and is currently moving west‑southwestward under the steering influence of a subtropical ridge to the northeast. 1/3

The low‑level circulation is exposed, with limited deep convection over the center. This structure reflects wind shear and the intrusion of drier air, which are inhibiting further organization. The Severe Storms RGB is useful for assessing convective severity and development. 3/3

In the Severe Storms RGB, deep convection appears in yellow to red colors with small ice crystals present at the cloud top level. The strongest convective activity is displaced to the western side of the circulation, where the strongest wind shear is also present. 2/3

In EUMETView, AFA shows the 5-minute flash count within the accumulated flash area by combining 10 half-minute AFA products. An overshooting top of the cumulonimbus can be seen overlapping with the area of the highest flash count, indicating the most active convective core. 2/2
