2001/2002 was the most northerly apparition of the jovian cycle, and it was again very well covered by CCD images from observers around the northern hemisphere. In addition to the usual description of the planet's weather systems in visible light, we give a brief account of features visible in ultraviolet and infrared (methane band) images, which reveal features in the high-altitude haze over Jupiter. The most obvious change on the planet was the breadth and redness of the North Equatorial Belt, following the broadening event in 2000. Together with a pale yellowish shading spread over the northern Equatorial Zone, this comprised the first significant colouration episode for ten years. As another typical consequence of the NEB broadening event, an array of small dark and white ovals developed within the expanded belt. There was also a trapped rifted region of NEB.
