Goodbye #MTGI1... Hello #Meteosat-12! 

Meteosat-12 became fully operational today, 👏 and the satellite has been renamed to mark the occasion. It is set to transform weather forecasting across Europe, Africa, and beyond. 🛰️🌍 

Our most recent video from Meteosat-12 below shows Storm #Bora over Greece from 29 Nov - 2 Dec, which caused major flooding in parts after heavy rain.  

Visit our website for another recent view over Central Africa/Congo, showing strong lightning activity, and to read the latest news: eumetsat.int
