NOAA satellites stopped broadcasting in August 2025.

High-quality reception of meteorological data from geostationary satellites will be set up soon. The temporary current wind map is below.

By default, wind speed is indicated at an altitude of 300 m to illustrate the displacement of cyclones and anticyclones

WXtoImg makes use of the 16-bit sampling capabilities of soundcards to provide better decoding than is possible with expensive purpose-designed hardware decoders.

WXtoImg comes in a basic freeware version that provides a large range of features. Improved automation, new enhancements, a wider variety of options, projection transformations and improved quality images from communications receivers and scanners are available by upgrading the software.
