About this view Wind currents
Colours show wind speed. Trails follow the forecast wind direction.
NASA cloud-top temperature scale: 150–220 K violet; 220–225 K pink; 225–240 K dark to bright blue; 240–245 K cyan; 245–260 K dark to bright green; 260–265 K yellow; 265–270 K gold; 270–280 K brown; 280–290 K dark red; 290–350 K bright red. Lower temperatures indicate colder cloud tops. Use the coordinate form or select a location for its exact published colour bin. This reads a displayed satellite pixel, not the underlying measurement; mixed or unknown colours remain unavailable. Clear sky and missing observations are transparent. NASA colour definitions.
Global patterns, not an address-level forecast. Blank areas mean missing data. Check official local warnings for immediate decisions.

Sources, open-source software & how motion works
This globe uses MapLibre GL JS and OpenFreeMap maps from OpenStreetMap. Zoom in for cities, roads and neighborhoods. Map detail increases with zoom; weather retains its original global resolution. Atmospheric trails show surface wind; ocean trails show geostrophic currents. Rotation is a browsing effect, not a forecast animation. Quake pulses mark reported epicentres, not seismic-wave travel. Fire markers use NASA FIRMS Suomi-NPP VIIRS satellite heat detections, with clustering at global zoom and an observation replay. Flame icons are illustrative markers, not live footage or a simulation of fire spread.
