Weather Forecast Maps: Explore beautiful, interactive visualizations of the weather with our stunning global forecast maps. 🗺️ Our maps are continually updated with the latest weather forecast model data from DWD ICON and NOAA/NCEP/NWS GFS. These include:
- Precipitation Forecast: Rain, snow, and cloud cover, all in one map.
- Wind Speed Forecast: Average speed and direction of surface winds.
- Wind Gusts Forecast: Maximum speed of sudden bursts of wind.
- Temperature Forecast: Air temperatures at 2 meters (6 feet) above the ground.
- "Feels Like" Temperature Forecast: Perceived temperatures, also known as apparent temperature or heat index.
- Relative Humidity Forecast: How air moisture compares to temperature.
- Dew Point Forecast: How dry or humid the air feels, and the point at which condensation occurs.
- Atmospheric Pressure Forecast: The average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Hurricane Tracking: Follow hurricanes from development to category 5 in real-time with our best-in-class tropical tracking system. 🌪️ Information is clear and easy to understand, using the very latest data from NHC, JTWC, NRL, and IBTrACS.
Wildfire Tracking: Monitor wildfires with our active fires and heat spots overlay, which shows points of very high temperature detected by satellite. 🔥 Detections are updated daily with data from NASA FIRMS. Use in conjunction with our GeoColor satellite imagery to see the movement of wildfire smoke.
