As these events intensify, reliable alerts are more essential than ever to protect populations and infrastructure.

MTG-I2 will operate in tandem with Meteosat-12. While Meteosat-12 provides images over Europe and Africa refreshed every 10 minutes, MTG-I2 will capture images over Europe updated every 2.5 minutes, thereby delivering weather imagery of unmatched accuracy at an unprecedented rate.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-align-justify\"\u003eHigh-resolution imagery from the Meteosat-12 and MTG-I2 imaging satellites, combined with cutting-edge sounding data provided by MTG-S1, will take weather forecasting capabilities to the next level, particularly for nowcasting.
