Great news! The new MTG-S1 Infrared Sounder (IRS) level 1 pre-operational data is released today. The IRS instrument provides information on water vapour and temperature structures of the atmosphere, see full details: bit.ly/4pNOOqQ

Data from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, currently distributed on the GTS and WIS2.0, are being made available on EUMETCast Terrestrial from today, see full details: bit.ly/44SD8cK

What does one satellite look like from another's point of view? On 18 Jul we found out! MTG-S1 & Meteosat-12 share an orbital slot 36,000km up & sometimes cross paths. The IRS on MTG-S1 caught Meteosat-12 over Timbuktu, Mali. ⬇️ The image is low-res, but you see Meteosat-12's solar panels/antennas.

Loops of Met-12 FCI Fire Temperature RGB & Day Fire composite, produced by our colleagues at @aemet.es show the evolution of the wildfires in western Madrid, which originated in the province of Ávila, spreading across the valleys of the Sistema Central, and has burned over 50,000 hectares. Daytime:

🔴 ⚠️ 🔥 🛰️ First national wildfire emergency ever declared by #Spain:About 55000Ha burned so far between #Avila and #Madrid.More than 6000Ha burning also north of #Valencia.#IFLaVallDUixó #IFBurgohondo #IFSierraOeste ⬇️36hrs of ravaging wildfires by #MTGI1 #climateemergency

Zooming in on Oregon, the enormous scope of ongoing wildfire outbreak is clear. Numerous large smoke plumes from dozens of active fires--which have now burned over 1 million acres in Oregon alone--are casting a broadening pall across the interior Northwest & N. Rockies. #ORwx

Extreme weather events are increasing, and faster warnings matter. MTG-I2 will help detect storms earlier and track them in near real time - giving forecasters more time to act. Bożena Łapeta, satellite remote sensing expert in Poland, spoke to us about why that changes everything 👇 bit.ly/4wt1GFo
