NEW: ALL WEATHER SATELLITE PHOTOS UPDATED EVERY THREE HOURS

I JUST RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM EUMETSAT TO UPDATE ALL MY PHOTOS EVERY THREE HOURS INSTEAD OF EVERY SIX HOURS AS AT PRESENT.

THIS MEANS THAT THEY WILL BE UPDATED NOW TWICE AS MUCH AS BEFORE. THE "HOURLY RAIN", "CLOUD COVER" AND "CLOUD TOP HEIGHT" (CTH)

WILL STILL BE UPDATED AS BEFORE. THIS NEW SYSTEM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED SOON- WITH MY OWN STORM PROJECTIONS.

IS THERE STILL A NEED FOR "STORM PROJECTIONS" AND RADAR FROM OTHER SOURCES- I DON'T THINK SO.

AND THIS ALL WILL BE FREE TO ALL

THE NEW UPDATES AND TIMES WILL BE PHASED IN FROM TOMORROW- CHECK THE TIMES ABOVE THE PHOTOS
