Given the increasing frequency of severe weather events globally, the need for accurate and reliable weather forecasts, relying on Near Real-Time (NRT) data, has become more critical than ever. This presentation explores EUMETSAT's EUMETCast Terrestrial service, delivered over GÉANT networks, providing high-quality NRT meteorological data. It highlights the technical implementation of Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT) and Source-Specific Multicast, focusing on their impact on accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and reliability for weather agencies. The session also discusses the benefits of leveraging NREN infrastructure to enable efficient global data distribution, and examines how service evolution is meeting the growing demands of users.
