Weather map, a fun project
Thousands of tiny lines drifting across the map: you see the weather instead of reading it. So I built a wind map for the browser.
Wind, rain and temperature for the whole world, 48 hours ahead. Drag the timeline and watch fronts roll in, tap anywhere for the local forecast, or add a second clock for the team in New York.
Deliberately small: one static page, no backend, no cost. MapLibre, OpenFreeMap, Open-Meteo and OpenStreetMap, all free and open. The fun part was the detail: calm glass panels on an 8-pixel grid and particles slow enough to feel like air, not noise.
Have a play and tell me what’s missing.
