This is our most complete report on Jupiter in 2024/25, posted rather late as we were preoccupied with the NTBs jet upheaval (see Report no.5) and other phenomena.  The main features were already summarised in Report no.6.  Here we add further details, giving drift rates for many features and for all the currents, and we show some of the best images from observers.

This report was first posted in 2026 Jan., but this is a revised version posted in 2026 Feb., with the section on ‘High northern domains’ expanded with full JUPOS analysis and JunoCam maps, adding two pages of text, and a set of additional figures in Appendix C.
