You can get (raw) data as the satellites (on precessing near earth polar otbits) pass over .. otherwise you wait until they next pass over, whether in the US or Portugal.

Processed data for the past 24 hours is available, it may be 18 hours "old" though.

See: (for regular processed products)

And here for 'Ultra Real Time' over the US | Canada

* https://wiki.earthdata.nasa.gov/display/FIRMS/2022/07/14/

elsewhere you'd have to contact your local ground station and geolocate + bandprocess the raw data as it beams in if you want Ultra Real Time.

( Hexagon sell a product that can do this if you're not up to writing your own )
