Global wind map - Pretty cool

[Mike981]

I'm a bit of a weather nerd. For some strange reason I enjoy looking at this - A lot. You can get a good feel for weather changes and I thought it might help with your travels.

 

 

 

Enjoy

I should add that you can manipulate the globe by spinning (click and hold) and zoom in (scroll wheel).

I LOVE it! The wind looks like silky hair....but do you see the hurricane-looking thing in the N. Atlantic? Headed NE...won't bother the US. Actually, several "swirlies" out there...in the Pacific, as well!

 

This is a great site!

What an amazing site I like that you can point at a location and immediately get a readout of GPS co-ords, wind speed and direction.

 

Thanks for posting.

[Mike981]

Thank YOU.

 

 

 

I was a bit hesitant to share, since...well, you know.

 

I'm very glad I have like company.

First thing I did was bookmark site. Click on the word earth to see more options. This was a snapshot of May 8,2018. Check out the many other options. Also has links to social media sites.

Click on 'Earth' then go to the fifth line down, 'Control' and then move to the right hand side and click the circle with a cross in it. You will get a display open up showing your GPS co-ords, wind direction and speed. Now go down to the line 'Overlay' and click on 'Temp' and it adds the temperature Here is where I don't understand it as it says the temp is 22.4 but it is actually 32 and that is at 10 pm! I don't know if Mike can help us with how they get the information, but at the moment we are in the grip of a heatwave and nowhere in the country is as low as 22.4 at the moment.

Sorry, you are teaching me knew things.

22.4 deg C is 72 deg F ?

[Smurf2017]

22.4 deg C is 72 deg F ?

 

Yes!

[broberts]

22.4 deg C is 72 deg F ?

 

I expect 32 is also C (~90F) as the poster is located in the UK.

Very cool. I look forward to playing with the settings. I've been using one called windy.com that allows me to zoom in close for local waters.

 

Thanks for sharing.

[mo&fran]

All neat stuff.

Sorry! I should have made it clear that the temps I quoted were degrees C.
