EUMETSAT’s Meteosat satellites are a key part of the global ring of geostationary weather satellites and observe the weather over Europe, Africa and the Indian Ocean. See their current view from our Earth view stream.
Weather satellite programmes are coordinated globally through the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS), which turned 50 in 2022.
