Typhoon Dolphin (known in Japanese sources as Typhoon Number 13) is set to make its closest approach to Ogasawara Islands on Tuesday and then reach Okinawa later this week. Latest Himawari-9 imagery: meteologix.com/jp/satellite... TT

Visible and infrared sandwich product using data from Meteosat-12 is showing thunderstorms developing in Estonia and Latvia this afternoon. Note to radar data users: Sürgavere radar in Estonia is currently offline due to maintenance. meteologix.com/ee/satellite... TT

The day of the total solar eclipse on 12 August is now coming into the model range. However - don't make any plans based on the current data at this point - as you can see from great variations even between models: meteologix.com/es/model-cha... TT

Here's a look at air temperature across Europe two hours ago at 15 UTC (4 PM in London, 5 PM in Berlin, 6 PM in Helsinki) as yet another heatwave is impacting parts of Europe: meteologix.com/ee/observati... TT

It is now past 1 AM in Japan and the air temperature is still well above 25 degrees across much of the earthquake-hit Kyushu. In Kumamoto, an air temperature of 28.6°C was reported at 1 AM; in Kosa 25.9°C. Yatsushiro weather station is still offline. meteologix.com/jp/observati... TT

To add insult to injury, the weather in the region is currently hot and humid. As of typing this post, the latest dew point reported in Kumamoto City is 26 degrees Celsius! Shown here is a scenario of Meteologix Heat Index computed from ECMWF data: meteologix.com/jp/model-cha... TT

Impacts of a significant earthquake which hit Kyushu in Japan a few hours ago are visible even in weather observations. JMA's Yatsushiro AMeDAS station stopped reporting after the earthquake occurred at 4:27 PM local time, 7:27 UTC: meteologix.com/jp/observati... TT

Here's a look at thunderstorms over the Baltics this afternoon in the visible and infrared sandwich product using data from Meteosat-12: meteologix.com/lv/satellite... TT

Significant wildfires are currently underway in southwestern Europe. The fire areas are so widespread that one can notice them even on satellite imagery zoomed out to country level: meteologix.com/es/satellite... TT

Here's a look at the air temperature across Europe this afternoon. While in Northern Europe it feels like autumn at times, it is brutally hot in Southern Europe and Northern Africa: meteologix.com/ee/observati... TT

Over the past few days, the air temperature in Japan has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius in some locations, reaching the criteria of recently introduced "brutally hot day"(酷暑日, kokushobi) classification. More heat is expected on Thursday: meteologix.com/jp/model-cha... TT

A slow-moving line of thunderstorms can be seen moving right now northwards over southern Estonia and northern Latvia: meteologix.com/ee/radar-hd/... TT

Here is a look at Europe in visible imagery generated using data from Meteosat-12's FCI instrument with lightning groups from the same satellite's Lightning Imager instrument. Map boundaries can be toggled off and on using the CITY button. meteologix.com/ee/satellite... TT

Heavy training rainfall is impacting the Kantō region of Japan this evening, with level 4 urgent warnings in effect in parts of Tochigi and Gunma prefectures. Same locations have been hit by heavy rain over several hours. meteologix.com/jp/radar-hd/... TT

Severe thunderstorms are undergoing in parts of Europe this evening. The storms are showing up well also in the imagery from Meteosat-12, shown here with the lightning groups from the same satellite's Lightning Imager instrument. meteologix.com/it/satellite... TT

Note: Meteosat-9, which covers the Indian Ocean region, had an anomaly this morning, and as a result, the Indian Ocean imagery is currently not updating on the website. EUMETSAT is investigating, according to their service alert. TT

Strong thunderstorms are currently underway in Trentino-South Tyrol, with overshooting tops visible on satellite imagery. meteologix.com/it/satellite... TT

Meteosat-12's data can also be used to track wildfires. Here is, for example, an animation of the beginning of a deadly wildfire in Spain last week as seen in the fire composite product: meteologix.com/es/satellite... TT

Estonia is currently being impacted by a severe thunderstorm bringing widespread impacts. Here's the national radar composite: meteologix.com/ee/radar-hd/... TT

The eye of Typhoon Bavi can be seen on radar as it heads towards the Sakishima islands in Japan and later towards mainland China. Bavi is a large typhoon and its impacts extend well out of its centre - the rain bands are already reaching Taiwan. meteologix.com/jp/radar-hd/... TT

Here is a look at infrared satellite imagery from Himawari-9 of Typhoon Bavi (known in Japanese language sources as Typhoon Number 9) as it heads towards the Yaeyama islands where it could make a landfall early Saturday local time. meteologix.com/jp/satellite... TT

Shown here is an animation of visible satellite imagery generated from the data of Meteosat-12's FCI instrument. Of note is a storm system over the Baltics. You can toggle map boundaries on and off using the CITY button. meteologix.com/ee/satellite... TT

Here's a look at Europe in the air mass composite generated using data from Meteosat-12. Of note is a quickly deepening low which is expected to cause a violent storm over the Baltic Sea. In parts of Poland, red wind warnings have been issued. meteologix.com/ee/satellite... TT

Super Typhoon Bavi (known in Japan as Typhoon Number 9), which just hit the Marianas, is now headed towards the Okinawa Prefecture, where it will arrive around Friday, still as a strong typhoon. ECMWF ensemble scenarios of the future track of the eye: meteologix.com/jp/cyclone-t... TT
