• Clouds — total cloud cover, in %.
• Rain — precipitation rate, in mm/h.
• Pressure — mean sea-level pressure with isobars, in hPa.
• Humidity — relative humidity 2 m above ground, in %.
• PM2.5 and Dust — fine particles and desert dust near the surface, in µg/m³.
• Labels and Rivers — cities with the value of the active layer, countries, and major rivers.
• Search and My location — find any town of more than 1,000 inhabitants, or fly to where you are.
• Timeline — the forecast for the next 48 hours: drag the slider or press play.

Data & freshness

Weather layers come from the NOAA GFS model at 0.25° resolution; air quality comes from NOAA GEFS-Aerosols. Four times a day, each new model run brings a 48-hour forecast in 3-hour steps, and the globe blends smoothly between steps. The banner shows the model run; the timeline shows the time you are looking at.
