The interactive weather map delivers high-resolution numerical weather prediction data, enabling users to inspect planetary wind systems, temperature anomalies, and cloud formations.
Key Atmospheric Variables Explained
- 2-Metre Air Temperature (°C / °F): Ambient air temperature measured at standard meteorological shelter height, updated from high-resolution national weather service numerical models.
- 10-Metre Wind Speed & Direction: Surface wind velocity, critical for assessing tropical storm steering, squall lines, and monsoon surges.
- Cloud Cover (%): Total and multi-layer cloud fraction (low, mid, and high altitude) synchronized to simulate realistic atmospheric opacity.
- Relative Humidity (%): The ratio of current vapor pressure to saturation vapor pressure, indicating dew point proximity and convective potential.
