Does anybody know what this is? https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-143.19,19.58,3000/loc=-149.272,19.983 https://earth.nulls

  It is Hurricane Lester near Hawaiʻi. Wondering what happened to create that temperature error.

  A storm. Look at the wave height. Also appears to be moving. It likely won't be there later. Oh and that's wind speed not temp. In K/h. Edit: actually the degrees you are seeing is the wind direction.

    Here's a link with a time, so it continues to work: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2016/09/02/1500Z/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-143.19,19.58,3000/loc=-149.272,19.983 https://earth.nullschool.net/#2016/09/02/1500Z/wind/surface/...

  I think the 310' is the direction, not temperature. Unless you're seeing something different than I am.

  9.98° N, 149.27° W 360° @ 88 km/h Means: The location of this data point on the earth's surface is 9.8 degrees North Latitude, 149.27 degrees West longitude[0]. Wind direction is 360 azimuth degrees(meaning it's coming from straight north at that point sampled[1]) at a speed of 88 km/h.

  Its degrees as a geometrical measurement, not temperature. Its showing the course/angle of the wind at that location.
