True Colour RGB – 26 September 2025, 09:00 UTC - Ex-hurricane Gabrielle is located east of the Azores. Benefits of the satellite product: natural-looking imagery — clouds appear white, sea blue, and land green to brown. Limitations: no cloud type differentiation & only available during daytime.

GOES W, ABI 6.2 μm colorized – 9 September 2025, 06:50 UTC – Hurricane Kiko is weakening to a tropical storm after encountering drier air (shown in yellow and red), colder waters and increased wind shear. Additionally, the convection is separating from the center of circulation.

Fire detection with Cloud Phase RGB – 25 August 2025, 18:00 UTC – Small green to yellow dots indicate active wildfires. The 🔥 in the Galicia region stands out as the most prominent. Smoke from the fire is visible in purple tones. The product utilizes the fire-sensitive NIR1.6 and NIR2.25 channels

Airmass RGB – 25 August 2025, 12:00 UTC – A strong cyclone, ex-Hurricane Erin, is currently active over the Atlantic. This RGB helps to analyse dynamic processes in the atmosphere.
Color interpretations:
Red = PV anomalies, ongoing cyclogenesis,
Green = warm tropical air &
Blue = cold polar air.

FCI Cloud Phase RGB– 21 August 2025, 08:10 UTC When monitoring convection, it’s sometimes helpful to overlay products. Here, LI's flash count is overlaid on Cloud Phase RGB. Higher flash frequencies might give forecaster a clue to a strengthening storm before satellite or radar imagery.

FCI Cloud Type RGB – 27 July 2025, 15:00 UTC - Severe thunderstorms caused flash floods in Poland. Convective cells appear in bright yellow. It's important to note that all multi-layered, thick ice clouds are shown in yellow ➡️ not all yellow areas necessarily indicate severe weather.

FCI True Color RGB – 05 August 2025, 16:00 UTC – Large wildfires in the Aude region in southern France. This satellite product supports fire detection and monitoring, as smoke can be clearly seen. Clouds appear white, while smoke is shown in more grey and brownish tones.

SEVIRI 6.2 μm – 4 August 2025, 09:15 UTC – An exceptionally strong cyclone for August named Floris hit Scotland and northern parts of Ireland on Monday. Water vapor imagery shows signs of a potential sting jet, though this has not been confirmed.

FCI GeoColour RGB – June 3, 2025, 04:20 UTC – A persistent weather pattern over the North Atlantic has transported smoke from devastating wildfires in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba to Europe. A plume of smoke can be seen stretching from western Turkey to eastern Ukraine.

FCI Cloud Phase RGB – May 20, 2025, 08:00 UTC – A low-pressure system just south of France has led to the development of a severe thunderstorm cell, possibly a supercell, in southeastern France. An orange warning has been issued for the region. Thick ice clouds with small crystals on top:light blue.

FCI Cloud Type RGB – 07 May 2025, 06:00 UTC – This satellite product is very useful for observing high clouds over lover clouds or cloud-free areas, and for clearly outline the high clouds from snow on the ground. Snow cover in the Norwegian mountains appears here in green. (1/2)

FCI Cloud Phase RGB - April 16, 2025, 10:45 UTC - A cold front over Tunisia has triggered some severe thunderstorms over the northern parts of the country. Here, thick ice clouds with small crystals on top appear in light blue, indicating strong updrafts associated with convection.

FCI True Color/Dust RGB - 15 April 2025, 06:00 UTC
Dust is being transported from the Sahara Desert towards Europe by the southwesternly flow, affecting Sicily and other parts of the continent. (1/3)
