In Europe these all come from EUMETSAT which charges for it.
But some have been made available free.
SAT24 offers one which is actually very good because it is 15-minute updated
But one always needs a backup. This normally was the UK Met Office one at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/satpics/latest_IR.html – past example:
but this now redirects to a near-useless interactive page here
Can anybody locate another website which delivers this IR image, for Europe, and which either presents, via a suitable URL, the latest image, or can be scripted with a bit of PHP to deliver the latest image?
Call me whatever, but I just can’t really work with “normal” satellite images.
I use the infrared images supplied by DWD (requires a log-in, €80 a year).
DWD also offers rebates if a flying club or a group of people take up a number of subscriptions.
We combined the 30 or so subsciptions various members of my local club held individually into one subscription for the club with 35 sub-licenses (every sub-license has their own individual access code) and are now paying only EUR40 p.a.
Not a big saving in the scheme of cost of flying but still.
I remember seeing that one years ago but could not find anything even equivalent on there. Not for any free-access, anyway.
The Turkish IR image updated every three hours, full of color to indicate temperatures.
