@eumetsat.intAfter five days of discussion and knowledge sharing, the 17th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa has come to a close. 🌍🛰️ A key theme throughout the week has been ensuring that satellite data can be received, accessed and used effectively to strengthen weather and climate services across Africa.
@eumetsat.intBehind the scenes at EUMETSAT ahead of the #Copernicus Sentinel-3C launch! 🛰️
Aerospace engineer, Victor, visited our HQ as part of a group of science communicators to explore how satellite data helps monitor oceans, wildfires & climate change. 🌍

@eumetsat.intCaptured by Meteosat-12 on 25 Aug this image shows a vast plume of Saharan dust sweeping north-east across the Mediterranean Sea.
Swept up by atmospheric wind patterns, these mineral particles travel hundreds of km from North Africa towards southern Europe.

@eumetsat.intSpectacular first images from #Copernicus Sentinel-3C have arrived! 🤩🛰️
Captured two weeks post-launch, initial data covers Central Europe, the Mediterranean, Arctic sea ice & the Bahamas.
The mission will monitor ocean colour, sea level, ice height & surface temperatures.

@eumetsat.intAt a previous User Forum, MTG was still a plan. Today, it is a reality. Together with the African Union Commission and the European Union, we have delivered on that commitment. Participants discussed the added value of the new system and its future evolution.
@eumetsat.intPUMA-2025 delivered! 🌍🛰️ Over the past two years, every sub-Saharan African country has been equipped with a PUMA-2025 station, enabling national meteorological services to receive and process MTG data distributed via EUMETCast-Africa.
@cm-saf.eumetsat.intReposted by @eumetsat.intCM SAF’s new climate anomaly products on German TV! On “alle wetter!”, Christine Träger-Chatterjee from @eumetsat.int used a SARAH-3 map to explain September’s sunshine duration anomalies and introduced the CAN service.

@eumetsat.int"In emergency situations, every minute can count." ⛈️🛰️
In Zambia, meteorologist Enos Phiri used near-real-time MTG satellite data to track a rapidly intensifying storm and help strengthen warnings for communities at risk of extreme rainfall and flash flooding: www.eumetsat.int/features/whe...
@eumetsat.intThe declaration, welcomed during the 17th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa in Eswatini, will help shape the next phase of cooperation between EUMETSAT and African meteorological and hydrological services.

@eumetsat.intThe 17th EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa is under way in Manzini, Eswatini! 🌍🛰️
Every 2 years, meteorologists & other users of our data come together from across Africa to share knowledge, discuss their needs & explore how satellite data can better support their work: www.eumetsat.int/work-us/user...
@wmo-global.bsky.socialReposted by @eumetsat.intEarth observation satellites orbit the planet day and night, all year round. They provide critical insights into Earth’s weather, water and climate — monitoring changes and helping us prepare for what’s ahead.
