Some layers are only available if you are displaying a location in the United States. The service has its specialized uses, you can for instance pull past data from holiday locations to see how the weather conditions have been during your planned stay. It is usually not something that you would go to to get a weather report though. Did the weather app Weather Underground know that they chose the name of a subversive (some would say terrorist) organization If so, why did they choose it. The different layers, and the ability to go back in time, make WunderMap an interesting service. You can furthermore select future dates (in the day range) to see weather forecasts on the map. Here you can go back in time (hour, day, month or year) for information about the weather location at a specific date and time in history. One interesting option is available with a click on the clock icon next to the selected location. Most offer options to change data sources or display different kinds of information on the map. With the new WunderMap app, users can choose from a variety of weather layers, including current conditions from one of more than 33,000 weather stations, severe weather warnings, animated radar. All that it takes to enable the new layers is to check an item to have it displayed on the map. From severe weather and satellite imagery to webcams, traffic or storm reports.

A click on a weather station displays all available information, plus forecasts.Īdditional weather related information are selectable on the right. This includes the temperature and wind strength and direction, with options to switch to dew point / humidity or precipitation instead. The zoomed in map displays weather station information by default. You will notice immediately that WunderMap uses Google Maps as the underlying mapping service.
