METEOSAT IMAGES from NOTTINGHAM UNIVERSITY

This page provides easy access to the very latest wefax images transmitted by the Meteosat satellite. We make every effort to ensure that our pictures are as up-to-date as possible, they'll usually arrive here within 5 minutes of reception. The images have all been jpeg compressed to about 100Kbytes, but are otherwise exactly as Meteosat disseminated them, ie they are in monochrome with a resolution of 800 x 800 pixels. The most frequently transmitted views are D2 (half-hourly) and C02 & C03 (every half hour during daylight). The thumbnail images on this page are live & up-to-date, the clickable maps are just static pointers to the full-res live images. This page contains a lot of in-line graphics, if you're on a slow link or your browser doesn't like this netscapey stuff then click here for a simple directory listing.
