• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

The COOLEST (...ahem...) website I've ever seen

I just wish the winds were in the direction FROM but nonetheless...visually impressive. (Deer in the headlights) Don't forget to change the altitudes and overlay filters for mind blowing visuals... sooo cool!

Apologies if this is old news and I've been living in a cave... :)
 
That is seriously cool.

Intellicast does something like that on their iPad and iPhone apps, but I've never seen it before on a continental scale.

I see what I'm going to be looking at tomorrow instead of getting work done...
 
what's amazing, is if you zoom in you can click on anywhere and it will show you the weather trend and the forecast..really cool. You can drag the marker anywhere on the planet.
 
This is a nice find; mesmerizing.
Only thing I'd like is some sort of scales to indicate more precisely what the colors mean.
 
Love James Fallows - got to spend a decent amount of time with him once at a client event. If he says it's cool... then it's cool - which is exactly what I'll tell myself as I sit here staring at the site and getting progressively more hypnotized...
 
Hi Folks

windty.com is a reworking of Cameron Beccario's http://earth.nullschool.net

windty is an nice implementation,
particularly the metars, and maps at higher zoom levels.

It's a pity James Fallows gives Ivo all the credit.
He'd obviously not bothered reading windty's info panel.

Click to expand...
Select an overlay, and a key displays at the middle of the right hand edge.
Click it to switch units.
