  That's a great visualization. Reminded me of one posted to hacker news a few weeks ago that let's you cycle through visualizations of cloud cover, atmospheric pressure, precipitation etc in addition to wind: https://www.windyty.com/?20.551,-74.487,5 https://www.windyty.com/?20.551,-74.487,5 I really love seeing all these conditions moving in concert at a global scale. As someone who's never experienced a hurricane, it makes the effects feel much less abstract.

      windytv is a fork of earth [0], which is open source [1] and made with D3.js [2], I'm guessing windytv is also using d3.

    Current wind speed at surface level on an orthographic projection. You can basically read out the URL ;)
