Global Weather

What is the weather like anywhere in the world right now, which storms are active, and what was the weather at a place on a given date? This page combines live conditions in world cities, official weather-disaster alerts, hourly forecasts, air quality, and the historical weather archive, including the sun's position to match shadows in photos.

Live world weather map

Dot colour shows the selected layer's value. Triangles are GDACS alerts. Click a city, an alert, or any point on the map for the forecast, air quality, historical weather, and pivot links. Data refreshes automatically every 10 minutes.

This page is not an early-warning system. For official severe-weather warnings in Indonesia follow BMKG (InfoBMKG app, @infoBMKG); elsewhere, follow the national meteorological service. City values come from 1–11 km resolution weather models, not observation stations.

      Weather OSINT techniques

      • Verify when a photo/video was taken: compare the sky, wet roads, snow, or fog in the footage with the hourly historical weather at the claimed place and date. Heavy rain on video but 0 mm in the archive is a red flag.
      • Chronolocation from shadows: the sun's azimuth sets the shadow direction and its elevation sets the shadow length. Match them to the shadow of a pole or person in a photo to estimate the time it was taken.
      • Cross-check models with satellite imagery: open Zoom Earth, NASA Worldview, or Sentinel Hub on the same date to see clouds and flood extent directly.
      • GDACS alerts give an early impact estimate (exposed population, intensity). For official storm tracks, refer to the regional centres (JTWC, JMA, NHC, BMKG TCWC Jakarta).
      • CAMS air quality comes from a model, not sensors. Wildfire haze and dust storms usually show clearly, but local pollution can be off; compare with IQAir/AirNow sensors where available.
      • Export GeoJSON to overlay in QGIS with flood maps, storm tracks, or fire hotspots (NASA FIRMS).

      Ethics & limits

      • Only open data from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0), CAMS, and GDACS. No personal data is collected; place searches are not stored.
      • Do not reshare information from this page as an official warning; refer to BMKG or the local meteorological service.
      • Model and reanalysis data can differ from local conditions (valleys, coasts, cities). Treat it as one piece of evidence among several, not the only one.
