Detail: | The User Notification System is being migrated to a new platform. During the indicated migration period (c. 2-hours) UNS messages will not be issued. In case of a service alert during this downtime, users will only receive the UNS message once the migration is complete. The Operational Service Status Indicator (OSSI) is unaffected by this change. Please note: in addition to the downtime, when the UNS service returns it will be accessible via a new URL http://uns.eumetsat.int/

Detail: | From 2018-08-17, the Meteosat 0M-0 HRV upper window will be shifted to the west position at 10:00 UTC every day, instead of 17:00 UTC as currently implemented. This is to allow for a better coverage of the Azores. The HRV window coverage in the East will be maintained via the Meteosat RSS and IODC HRV windows.
