Xweather Live is an ad-free vector weather map built to showcase our weather APIs. It's a fun app with lots of data layers and features.

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.
Awesome! Our data, like wind, is for ground level applications (we don't have data for higher altitudes). But we do have proprietary lightning data which may be of interest to you. If you go to the top left corner and change the focus from "General Focus" to "Severe" you will see a new collection of layer options related to severe weather. There you can see actual lightning strike data, as well as lightning forecast areas. Most airports use our lightning data!
Out of curiosity, how long did this take to write and what AI stack did you use?
All of the data, including the AI endpoints (Phrase API - https://www.xweather.com/phrases-api), and mapping tools were built using our weather API and MapsGL SDKs. I don't know the exact number of hours but its been worked on for about a year. You could spin up a really basic mapping site like this using the SDKs in a matter of hours.
Very cool site! Would you know of any similar maps that explore climate zones or micro climates?
Thanks. There are quite a few cool projects out there. Someone just shared a link to a collection of free weather maps: https://fmhy.pages.dev/misc#climate-weather
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!
