    It is really cool. I don't think I've seen a weather app like it. Works great on Chrome + desktop. Great job. One small feature idea is showing the most hot and cold places at any one time. I love it!

      Never heard of freemediaheckyeah, I love it. I will have to add ours to the list. One thing that makes us different is we have a LOT more data in one app. If you explore all the layers, you can see tropical cyclone/hurricane data, lightning strikes, hail, renewable energy, and wildfire data. You have to change the focus (top left corner) to see the other collections of layers.

    Xweather Live is an ad-free vector weather map built to showcase our weather APIs. It's a fun app with lots of data layers and features.

    Feedback welcome!

      Thanks. Mainly commenting to bookmark this for an aviation project I’m working on. Let me know if there’s anything that differentiates you - particularly for aviation. Thanks.

      Very cool site! Would you know of any similar maps that explore climate zones or micro climates?

        Thanks. There are quite a few cool projects out there. Someone just shared a link to a collection of free weather maps: https://fmhy.pages.dev/misc#climate-weather

        In the future we will also be merging another project into this app which is a collection of data from personal weather stations across the country. That data is really cool because it can fill in coverage gap. https://www.pwsweather.com/map/?ob=temps

          I have four stations uploading there - looking forward to see the result!

    Beautiful, brings back memories of Dark Sky & forecast.io

    Can someone explain how wind can spiral in to a point? Where does the air "go"? Or does this create a higher pressure?

    Animating global weather patterns is super cool. It’s wild to see everything move around and ebb and flow. Neat site!

    really cool, but the search field doesn't update the map after I type in a new location. (safari Version 26.3 (21623.2.7.11.6))

      Thanks for catching that, and including browser details.

    It looks really cool, but all the numbers jiggle around when I pan the map on my phone (Android, Chrome)

    Neat. Overlay city labels are doubled-up over map tile city labels?
