Himawari Satellites01/02/2026

We now have support to import and display the wildfire (hotspot) data product for the geostationary Himawari satellites which cover Australia, New Zealand and most of Asia. Accessing the data product requires a (free) account on the JAXA FTP server which provides updates in a 10min interval (and 30-40min latency).

This is implemented in the new "odin_himawari" ODIN application domain crate (odin-rs/odin_himawari). You can find screen shots in the satellites section of our gallery (scroll down to "Himawari hotspots" entries) and the crate documentation in the odin_himawari section of the ODIN documentation.
