Mike981 Posted August 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2018 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 https://earth.nullschool.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike981 Posted August 3, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I should add that you can manipulate the globe by spinning (click and hold) and zoom in (scroll wheel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted August 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2018 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf2017 Posted August 4, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 4, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf2017 Posted August 5, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 5, 2018 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.

Smurf2017 Posted August 6, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2018 22.4 deg C is 72 deg F ? Yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare broberts Posted August 6, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 6, 2018 22.4 deg C is 72 deg F ? I expect 32 is also C (~90F) as the poster is located in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted August 6, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 6, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
