A fave of mine for much of the past decade, part of my morning info review and frequently consulted during various events (fires, storms, heat- and cold-waves, aurora, etc.). The site has an absolute wealth of meterological data. Wind is just the start. Temps, precipitation potential, mean sea level pressure (MSLP) --- which can give a heads-up on tropical storms, particulates, pollutants (tracking air and sea routes by SO2/NO2 prevalence is fascinating, I recommend looking at past years' traces around the Cape of Good Hope to see the impacts of Red Sea attacks), wildfires (not just "Fires" under the Bio tab, but CO, SO2, and particulates), sea temps, aurora, ... On sea temps, contrast current mid-Pacific readings with a year ago, to see the scope of El Niño: August 14, 2026: <https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/ocean/surface/currents/annot=fires/overlay=sea_surface_temp_anomaly/orthographic=-139.01,1.85,627 https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/ocean/surface/currents...> August 14, 2025: <https://earth.nullschool.net/#2025/08/13/1200Z/ocean/surface/currents/annot=fires/overlay=sea_surface_temp_anomaly/orthographic=-139.01,1.85,627 https://earth.nullschool.net/#2025/08/13/1200Z/ocean/surface...> Oh, and there's not just forecasts (up to about a week), but history dating to 2013, so that it's possible to compare conditions over time. Other tweaks and twiddles: atmospheric conditions can be reported for a given altitude, from surface to remote stratosphere; grid density can be set low or high; interpolation can be enabled or disabled (values given are the average within a grid, this is particularly apparent when trying to estimate maximum wind speeds from a localised storm, for which this tool is poorly suited), and alternative map projections (ObXkcd: <https://xkcd.com/977/ https://xkcd.com/977/>)
