Welcome to our real-time Earth imagery stream, featuring the stunning view over the Atlantic Ocean, captured by Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) from its geostationary orbit 36,000 km above Earth. The imagery in this stream is the RGB GeoColour composite, visualized with unprecedented clarity by MTG’s state-of-the-art instruments.

Updated every 10 minutes, each new image is part of MTG’s cutting-edge weather monitoring mission, with a slight delay due to processing. This is part of a mission designed to support weather forecasting and nowcasting, which involves identifying rapidly developing severe weather.

MTG marks a leap forward from the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites, introducing new technologies that will support meteorological observations for the coming decades. It offers higher-resolution images, faster updates, and a broader range of spectral observations, including lightning detection, making it a vital tool for forecasters across Europe and Africa.
