Satellite images can project forecasts but not past data. The layers that include time control features are radar, weather stations, photos, tornadoes, webcams, fire and storm reports. Even for casual weather-watchers, there’s much to learn here. But Weather Underground offers so much more information. With so many people already using Google Maps, the ability to check the weather there makes it all the more convenient at WunderMap’s expense.Įven Google Earth has weather, displaying real-time animations of clouds, rain and snow. Google has built casual weather tools for its own Maps service, and we worried about WunderMap when it launched. It’s amazing to go back to historic storms and watch them happen all over again. It can also display forecasts for several days ahead. The map now displays a clock icon that lets users scroll through the past and future to view historical and forecast data. WunderMap overlays a Google map with all kinds of weather information, including temperatures, radar, webcams, ski reports, dedicated services for fires, tornadoes, hurricanes and more. The only thing missing here is an integrated itinerary, which would actually be quite a useful feature.Weather Underground’s interactive WunderMap now enables users to go back and forth in time. Since the app is powered by Google Maps, the menu also lets you switch between street, satellite, and hybrid views. One option even animates the radar graphics as they’ve changed over the course of the day. WunderMap’s simple menu allows you to enable and disable various overlays-such as precipitation, clouds, severe weather, webcams, temperature and wind-that all appear stacked but visible on the interactive map. The map itself is interactive and informative. Weve updated our interactive WunderMap with a new look and new tools Now you can search for historic named storms in the search box and play animated radar. An unobtrusive panel window provides three pages of weather info that you can flip through, featuring detailed info about current conditions today’s conditions at three-hour intervals and a two-week summary forecast. Select a location via the search bar, point and zoom in the crosshairs (at any range from global view to Street View), tap the My Location button, or just choose a spot from your bookmarks. WunderMap doesn’t have any more features than it needs.
