Cyclone Nivar makes landfall in IndiaNovember 25th, 2020 | Scott Bachmeier![US Space Force EWS-G1 Infrared (10.7 µm) images [click to play animation | MP4]'](https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/images/2020/11/201125_ewsg1_infrared_Cyclone_Nivar_landfall_anim.gif) US Space Force EWS-G1 Infrared (10.7 µm) images [click to play animation | MP4] EUMETSAT Meteosat-8 Infrared Window (10.8 µm) images with contours of deep-layer wind shear from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones site (below) indicated that Nivar was moving through an environment of low shear (and over warm water) — factors favorable for the storm maintaining its intensity. ![Meteosat-8 Infrared Window (10.8 µm) images, with contours of deep-layer wind shear [click to enlarge]](https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/images/2020/11/201125_meteosat8_infrared_shear_Cyclone_Nidar_anim.gif) Meteosat-8 Infrared Window (10.8 µm) images, with contours of deep-layer wind shear [click to enlarge] Medicane makes landfall in TunisiaNovember 22nd, 2020 | Scott Bachmeier![EUMETSAT Meteosat-11 High Resolution Visible (0.8 µm) images [click to play animation | MP4]](https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/images/2020/11/201122_meteosat11_visible_Medicane_anim.gif) EUMETSAT Meteosat-11 High Resolution Visible (0.8 µm) images [click to play animation | MP4] A Suomi NPP VIIRS True Color Red-Green-Blue (RGB) image displayed using RealEarth (below) provided a higher-resolution view of the medicane’s eye and convective banding at 1152 UTC. ![Suomi NPP VIIRS True Color RGB image valid at 1152 UTC [click to enlarge]](https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/images/2020/11/201122_1152utc_suomiNPP_viirs_trueColorRGB_medicane_anim.gif) Suomi NPP VIIRS True Color RGB image valid at 1152 UTC [click to enlarge] ![Plot of surface observations for Monastir's Habib Bourguiba International Airport [click to enlarge]](https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/images/2020/11/201122_DTMB_SFCMG.GIF) Plot of surface observations for Monastir’s Habib Bourguiba International Airport [click to enlarge] Medicane Ionas after GreeceSeptember 21st, 2020 | Scott Lindstrom VIIRS Daily True-Color images, 18-21 September 2020 (Click to animate) What did the Medicane that hit Greece do afterwards? VIIRS True-color imagery, above, taken from the NASA WorldView site, show an intact feature moving along the northern coast of Africa on 20-21 September towards the Nile Delta. The amount of cloudiness is in general declining as it moves into a drier environment. Total Precipitable Water (TPW) from the MIMIC website shows the general drying surrounding the storm.
