I just came across this new type of weather website and I am thoroughly impressed with the many options available to view weather history and forecasts.
Here is what the site says about its new service: “WeatherSpark is a new type of weather website, with interactive weather graphs that allow you to pan and zoom through the entire history of any weather station on earth. Get multiple forecasts for the current location, overlaid on records and averages to put it all in context.”
Five Cool Things You Can Do With WeatherSpark
- Get three local forecasts presented in graphs. Two when outside of the US.
- Compare the weather in San Francisco vs New York.
- Check out the monsoon in Mumbai, India. The rain is so dominant that it cools down the air for three months, creating a yearly temperature curve that actually dips in the summer.
- See that cold snap in Dallas around the Super Bowl this year that was all over the news. Turn on the wind speed and direction graphs and you’ll see the wind change from a weak southerly to a strong northerly just as the cold snap starts.
- See an average late July in Houston. The thunderstorms typically roll in around 4pm.
