I've worked a lot with weather data in the past (and I still am), and I have to appreciate all the work that went into this. Weather model data is notoriously messy with many different formats and standards, and then I'm not even talking about radar data, etc. Probably when you've got this all abstracted away behind an API it is easier to build such a powerful application as this.
It is really cool. I don't think I've seen a weather app like it. Works great on Chrome + desktop. Great job. One small feature idea is showing the most hot and cold places at any one time. I love it!
Yea, and once you zoom out - being able to intuitively see the temperature all around the planet just creates this sense of appreciation for where we are. On top of it, one can't help but notice that we are floating nowhere in particular in this infinite and eternal universe ...
Never heard of freemediaheckyeah, I love it. I will have to add ours to the list. One thing that makes us different is we have a LOT more data in one app. If you explore all the layers, you can see tropical cyclone/hurricane data, lightning strikes, hail, renewable energy, and wildfire data. You have to change the focus (top left corner) to see the other collections of layers.
This is admittedly quite niche (as I work on a balloon experiment) but I really appreciate how the nullschool map shows the 10 mbar level (5-7 would be even better if course)
Thanks. Mainly commenting to bookmark this for an aviation project I’m working on. Let me know if there’s anything that differentiates you - particularly for aviation. Thanks.
In the future we will also be merging another project into this app which is a collection of data from personal weather stations across the country. That data is really cool because it can fill in coverage gap. https://www.pwsweather.com/map/?ob=temps

I have four stations uploading there - looking forward to see the result!
Cool idea, but this took about 15 seconds to load for me and then lagged very hard, especially while zooming. So I wasn't able to use it very much before getting frustrated enough to exit the page.
If it’s showing surface winds, it goes up. On windy.com there’s an altitude slider that lets you choose which wind level you’re looking at. Haven’t found that yet here.

Did you manage to track down their other services’ providers and negotiate access?
Feedback welcome!

Second this.
