If you check Windy you'll see the African fires at like 0.1 W/m^2 and the Australian ones at 50 W/m^2.
So being 500x times hotter probably has something to do with the news attention...
Here is the <em>current</em> CO (Carbon Monoxide) levels from windy.com showing India and China. India's is extensive, but China? It is like this in intensity 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Windy.com source.
Because it looks like such a boring stage, I had a look at the wind. If anything were to happen, it'd happen between Imola and Forli that is to say somewhere between 70kms in and 70 to go as the wind swtches from a weak tailwind to a decentish cross-tailwind with reasonably good speeds for it. The bad news? It won't happen. The good news? You probably had your hopes up and got excited for a second, and that's what counts because that won't be happening again for another 7 hours.
The web site windy.com is a great visual window into what is happening from weather to atmospheric emissions taken from satellite data in real time.
Maybe it's as simple as the wind blowing from the east, rather than off the ocean. So instead of somebody else breathing our pollution while we breathe fresh ocean air, we're breathing our pollution (and that of the east bay/central valley).
I feel like if we're not willing to make substantial lifestyle changes to cut emissions, as our environment deteriorates we'll experience more and more of these no-easy-way-to-explain-it-away days.
As a native Michigander who is now out west I constantly find myself playing the where is the smoke coming from this time game so I'll clue you all in. The first link will help you get a general sense of where the large fires are at, the bigger the icon the larger the fire. The second link will help you see where the smoke is currently covering. And the third link will show you wind directions. So combine these three and you can get a pretty good idea of the smoke source.

Look at the high pressure area extending from the California/Oregon border all the down through the Southwest. Air moves from high pressure zones to low pressure zones. This high pressure zone is a common formation during the summertime and causes winds to blow from east to west (offshore wind). The winds are referred to as the Diablos
You can also see on Windy.com a visual representation of the wind/air movement and the whole western US is super stale right now.
Enjoy your meteorology lesson for the day.
Just wanted to share some cool sites for watching the storm data in real time:
a rather strong headwind at the start, then moderate crosswinds in the middle, then pretty low winds in general for the entire second half of the stage
No offense, but I think that Windy is the far superior product. https://www.windy.com/?32.948,-96.314,5

Be careful, time seems to melt when you are on that site. LOTS of options. I love it.
At the very least, the ocean has "weather". The oceanic equivalent of high and low pressure systems are mesoscale eddies and they are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, particularly in regions with rapid ocean currents which generate oceanic fronts. You can clearly see these eddies in the ocean if you look at the ocean currents (e.g. this live model output from windy) and you'll notice that these currents look very similar to the flow around low and high pressure systems in the atmosphere. Ocean "weather" systems are generally around 10x smaller than weather systems in the atmosphere and are significantly slower, but other than that they're physically pretty analogous. For example, just like high and low pressure systems are actively generated by the baroclinic instability of the jet stream in the atmosphere, mesoscale eddies are prolifically generated by the baroclinic instability of energetic ocean currents in the oceann. Although these oceanic 'weather' systems might look a bit crap compared to atmospheric weather systems, they're extremely important in transporting heat around the ocean and for many biological processes such as plankton growth.

Forecast for this week and next week is quite bad. This could be next flood.
Be prepared this time. Move out if you can. Get things secured. stock up on supplies.
Please take care..
It could be worse than that, there's the cyclone off the coast now.. and the tropical depression off the northern coast that's set to develop into a cyclone and head in the same direction, if the ECMWF model is correct and nothing changes Broome could be hit again on Monday.
The less accurate GFS model has it passing close by as well.
Check out Windy, weather is always changing but I feel that this should give a rough idea on how things are going.
According to the site the real heavy stuff is going to hit at 5pm tomorrow.
Ránézve az így kirajzolódó hajózási útvonalak okozta légszennyezésre, ha ennek egy jelentős részét átrakják vonatra és nem Rotterdamba megy körbe a Shanghaiból Szuezi-csatornán keresztül érkező konténerek egy nagy része, hanem vasúton megy, ami mondjuk villamosított, akkor lehet, hogy ezzel Magyarország úgy ver oda a klímaváltozásnak, hogy megvétózott klímacél ide vagy oda, bizony jelentősebben járul hozzá az egész kibocsátás visszafogáshoz, mint akármelyik szuperzöldnek hirdetett Nyugati csodaország.
Ami felettébb érdekes.
Remélem azért térköveznek amennyit csak tudnak a kikötőnél és próbálnak olyan nyomvonalat keríteni a vasútnak, hogy minél több fát vágjanak ki, különben nem lesz hiteles Fidesz projekt a dologból...
I did about 1000 miles like that, heading west with end points fixed, and a deadline. I admittedly was lucky with the wind, but I used www.windy.com to plan my route 2-3 days ahead (keeping in mind the pace I needed to keep), so that I could account for wind strength and direction.
GL!
According to Windy, the smoke will rise up a little from lunch, and drop again from 11pm-2am, the heavy stuff should be back by 5pm tomorrow. (Subjected to change of course)
J'ai vécu mon premier typhon ce week-end (à Taïwan).
Le centre a beau ne pas être passé près de Taipei là où je vis, pendant quelques heures le bruit du vent dans mon appartement était vraiment super impressionnant et je n'en menais pas large :o (un arbre s'est écrasé sur une voiture juste en bas de chez moi...)
Un deuxième vient de toucher le Sud et on a peut être un troisième en préparation...
D'ailleurs, pour suivre ça ce genre de phénomènes, je vous recommande ce site (l'appli est très bien aussi) : https://www.windy.com/?25.042,121.497,5
(là ce sont mes coordonnées car si je vous met la France, ça va tout de suite être un peu moins impressionnant)

As a native floridian who seen them for 30 years, if you have time and the resources sheetmetal roofing panels work great to protect windows. They can be held in by concrete tapcons. Don't open any doors while it's happening unless you want your roof to blow off.
Also, this is a team effort, if you have resources to offer to someone please do. Don't be selfish, because other people can suffer far worse than you. Water, gas, food w/e you can think of. Don't forget about those people who traveled across states to help. If they are willing to help you, help others who need it too.
Some weather stations in my country measure snow depth automatically with ultrasound, but some stations still do it manually.

Looks like it's probably headed your way! It might get quite windy on Sunday!
Als ik in tropische landen ben waar een algemeen weerbericht niet zo veel zin heeft door de vele micro-klimaten gebruik ik windy. Maar in Nederland is de algemene berichtgeving in combinatie met buienradar vaak wel prima.
And if you want to compare where these turbines are located, I suggest checking out this website: You may like this https://www.windy.com/

Just putting it up here for everyone to see why it might probably be delayed -upper atmosphere wind speed weather system forecast, push forecast date slider to the right for 4th and 5th May. Both long term models agree with regards to wind speed conditions at MECO-ish altitude.
Those images are from years ago so not really relevant to right now anyway. I'm not sure if news outlets have tried to run such stories recently though I have seen the older ones come up a couple times in comments on reddit of late.
The concern over failure at the moment is simply the insane level of rainfall the region is seeing and the fact that they've opened all the floodgates, which they've never had to do before. The area is already seeing significant flooding so I think it is reasonable to say this is a situation the dam has not faced before. It's worth looking at the area on Windy to get a sense of how much rain is falling there. It's looked like that or worse for weeks now.
Stirring shitty images into the mix doesn't help things though and nor does the inherent bias of the news outlets reporting on the situation. Taiwan news obviously has significant bias against China and whilst their recent stories have made accurate predictions about floodgates having to be opened (which Chinese news sources vehemently denied and called propaganda until they did indeed have to do so)... they have also used shitty images like that in the past:
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3740835
Given that these 'bending' stories mostly seem to have been on atrocious sources like the Daily Mail and Fox that do nothing but scaremonger and write bullshit at the best of times... they're not exactly in good company when it comes to trustworthiness. Nor of course though are all the Chinese propaganda news sites. So it's difficult to get an accurate picture of what is actually going on but I think it is something to watch closely. Even without a collapse the flooding is severe.
Yes, everything's fine, ignore the massive CO concentrations, all is well.
Yeah the airport staff didn't know much about it. The reason we chose the launch site we did on the day we did was because of the forecasted landing spot. There is online software that tells you where it should land based on the wind direction that day. It was supposed to be far away from everything, it didn't pan out that way though.
(I think the website we used was https://www.windy.com/ or something similar.)
Didja not listen to the fireman's statement - he'd lost 8 houses.. so you're saying firemen are on the 'fringes' yet this guy owns 8 houses?
What the fuck are you blathering about? Are you some punk-ass shill for the coal concerns just spewing lies and slander for a paycheck? Jesus, sure, these fires and the fact that much of Australia is now even hotter than the fucking Sahara desert is in no way whatsoever indicative of a climactic change.
What the hell is the damage with you climate change deniers? What are you AFRAID of - that 'big daddy' liberal gummint is gonna come and take away your pickup trucks or jeeps or make you walk to work? What's the fear of admitting this shit is real? Is your dick gonna go limp and never work again? Is your macho self image gonna be shredded if you can't get a vehicle that gets 20 kilometers per gallon and has a 12-liter engine? Is this some bullshit flat-earth, molemen live at the center of the world and the moon is made of cheese belief you're clinging to so you can show everyone how 'smart and edgemucated' and a independent thinker (hurr-durr) you are?
Come on, shit it. What's the reason you cling to the denial of climate change.
A few things to consider:
- Calfornia is always on fire
- This is the Central Valley, smoke and other heavy air particulates like to collect here.
- Winds have been very strong lately and are blowing North to South
There are currently quite a few fires in Northern California http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents
My guess is that the winds are bringing all that smoke down here. Check this out to see the current wind speeds and directions: https://www.windy.com/?38.483,-121.640,5

'Dammit. One of these days...'
Humidity is the important factor here. It tends to be very humid in the UK so it gets unpleasant when hot. I've been in 40+ C heat in Arizona and it was pleasant because the humidity was so low but 30C in Florida is unbearable because the humidity is so high. Sweat doesn't evaporate easily when the air is so saturated so you don't cool down and just get sticky. It only takes a wet bulb temperature of 35C (at 100% relative humidity) to be fatal for that reason.
Windy.com is showing a temperature of 35C and 21% humidity around Western Poland on the 27th at midday and 30C/60% around London at the same time. Both of these will feel like around 33C to the human body. I'm entirely expecting this forecast to be wrong though as it has been for months. Still just raining here... as it has been for months despite what the forecast keeps saying.
Yup. This website is a great one for monitoring the weather. Recently they added the severe alerts/warnings they get from the KNMI. (though I am surprised to see the knmi website show green for now...) This storm should hit from 23:00 - 04:00. https://www.windy.com/cap-alert/52.371/4.904?capAlerts,52.376,-8.240,5

Researchers should check temperatures in the Arctic today, the warmest temperature I could find in Alaska is 4C, the rest is still in deep freeze.
I've found it quite interesting to compare this wildfire map with a wind map over the last few days to get an idea of what the chance of them continuing to spread is. Especially interesting are the CO and SO2 overlays on that one. I don't know how accurate they are, what the data is based on or if they are just forecasts as I haven't found similar data elsewhere but it's interesting nonetheless to see how high the concentration is over the fire areas compared to everywhere else. The air quality must be really bad around there right now.
It is amazing to see just how many large fires are going on at the moment. I was out there a few years back and we had to take several detours to avoid roads closed due to fires. We drove up the coast for a month or so and came back to find the same roads still closed and fires still burning, though whether they were the same ones or new I don't know. I would guess that if fires get extreme enough they will hit a peak and then die down in the years following when there isn't as much left to burn and greater gaps between forests from previous burns.
There's a line of thunderstorms from Kansas to DC right now: https://i.imgur.com/YWYPBP9.png

Compare the frigid waters of the Hudson Bay to the North Sea (about the same latitude as the Hudson Bay), then yes.. the North Sea is a 'warm water'. 2 or 12 degrees Celcius is a lot of difference if you take a dive.
This is one of my favorites for visualization: https://www.windy.com
You can immediately switch between winds, pressure systems, clouds, etc. so you get an idea of what factors produce certain types of weather.
Check out the air quality map on Windy.com - switch to NO2 readings and it's extremely high - I've never seen anything like that before.
Anyone know what could cause this? A huge leak of something? Is there a haze downtown?
Yes, use the US EPA conversion for woodsmoke as wildfire smoke reads different in the PA devices than other particulates.
Also I like windy.com with the fire intensity overlay to see where the smoke is coming from:

It's expected to get bad tonight.
Right now mainland China hasstrong amounts of pollution, and wind patterns are expected to bring it down this way.
Kind of a bummer....Stay healthy and happy New years!
> road dust is the single largest contributor to air pollution, accounting for 56 per cent of particulate matter 10 (PM10).
Dude is shitting bricks bringing swachh bharat in this. I will give you two reasons
1) Dust on Delhi roads comes from Middle east/ Sahara region depending on wind direction. Dont believe me. Check out this beautiful windy website which tracks dust in real time amongst a lot of other things.
https://www.windy.com/?dustsm,28.667,77.217,5
2) PM10 is not the biggest issue with this hazardous pollution. The biggest and most dangerous is PM2.5. PM10 pollution - one can filter through their nose hairs. That is why our nose boogie is yellow in color. However, PM2.5 is so small in size that it goes directly in our lungs and get absorbed by cells. We have dust ergo PM10 in summers as well. So PM10 in isolation means squat.
Another example - PM10 can be filtered by cheap dust filter. We need expensive HEPA filter to clear out PM2.5.
Do the test on the seaway, I'm sure one 180% turn wont mean losing your ProTour contract. ... Do try and pick a day with light winds, differing wind speeds will make it harder to make both directions a constant block of similar effort.

Except it does look natural.
It's a cold front meeting a warm front. The cold air from the north cools the warm and likely much more humid air from the south and clouds form.
Тут недавно карту екологічну приносили, так от це все гімно яке в Україні димить, потім несе в скандинавію.
Dunno, man. We've been having some wind & rain this last week, and another windy+rainy front is approaching. I'd say 30km/h winds minimum. Windy.com agrees.
https://www.windy.com/50.054/2.689?49.243,2.689,7,m:e2AagfD
15kt sustained winds (30km/h) with 23kt gusts (nearly 50km/h).
Nothing to worry about if you're a regular person, but plenty to worry about if you really don't want your hair to move around. I am not joking; I really think this might be the reason why he didn't attend, sad as it is.
Also, I've just realized it's the same memorial I visited a few months ago. It felt weird, seeing all those names written on the walls, all those people who made the ultimate sacrifice... it was really sad. But there were also offerings, flowers and little ornaments that people had made in their memory. It was nice to see people still cared.
Sorry, I'm rambling now. I really hope we don't have another war like that one, or like the one that came after.
Shocking, a fire at a refinery would release toxic smoke. There's nothing they make there that isn't known to cause cancer or be very nasty even when it's not on fire.
So what would have happened if that sodium fluoride tank went up with today's wind?
Right now the wind is coming from the south there, then bending to the east a bit over the lake. That "10 miles downwind" evacuation area right now would include downtown Duluth, like the DECC that they evacuated people too.
Duluth got lucky the other day that it was a nice north wind. The not uncommon south wind tends to bend east when it hits the lake/hill
Here's a nice visualization: https://www.windy.com/?46.745,-91.992,12
low pressure systems. They're super common and all look like that. What separates the ones below anchorage to the one that became Hurricane Harvey is where they form and the water below them. That nice warm tropical air in the atlantic and carribean fuel the storm and let it become what it is right now. Water is much colder up north.
https://www.windy.com/?pressure,38.342,-92.769,5
you can see the pressure differences here.
This is very shortsighted.
It's a yearly cycle.
Sometime early June the air gets better because the wind turns from northerly winds to southerly winds.
Thanks to this we get beautiful clean air, because it's coming from the sea.
In September it turns again.
However even in those 2-3 months of nice air, the wind can turn again if a typhoon is nearby, because it rotates counter clockwise and brings winds from the north as long as it's east of Shenzhen.
This is happening right now. Look out of the window tomorrow morning, you'll see it.
The average air quality in China is improving, but it takes time. I looked at the averages of the measurements from the American Embassy in Beijing before, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/5smkl7/reports_reveal_beijing_to_cut_coal_use_by_30_in/ddhcnij/
In the meantime look at this website, you can see the wind directions very nicely here. As long as the wind comes from the north, it's going to be polluted. If it's from the south, it's going to be nice:
https://www.windy.com/?22.299,114.829,7
Tomorrow after the typhoon has passed we'll have very clean air again.
It's hump day, so I'm starting to look forward to sailing on Sunday.
Mind you, the wind forecast is trolling me - one day they reckon it'll be 20kts plus, the next day, the forecast drops to maybe 5. Guessing it'll all depend on how the high interacts with a leftover cold front. Come on weather gods, don't fail me now!
Here is the current measurements for CO by GEOS-5 satellite for today....not good.

Sur la page https://www.windy.com/-SO2-tcso2?tcso2,2021092510,46.294,2.351,6,m:e0cage6 je vois un pic en région parisienne autour de 113mg/m³.
Sur wikipédia je ne trouve pas beaucoup d'info, mais sur futura science je vois :
> la concentration moyenne annuelle, qui était de 210 µg/m3 en 1959, tombe à 20 µg/m3 en 1994, dans l'agglomération parisienne, soit 10 fois moins qu'en 1959.
~~Donc, c'est beaucoup plus que d'habitude mais c'est probablement pas très très grave (même si ça peut déclencher des allergies).~~
Ok je viens de voir que les moyennes sont en μg. Bon bah 113000 c'est beaucoup plus que 210 hein. Après c'est un évènement ponctuel versus une moyenne annuelle…
The windy model is in the wrong spot, the track is a fair way south of Sochi. This should be a bit more accurate, showing a lot more at 3pm
Usually, those bright red spots are wildfires. but they can also be massive building fires. I saw a similar effect after that explosion in Beirut last year. If you look there now, it's mostly abated.
When I see things like that, I do a google for news reports. This time I saw nothing.
Jag gillar Windy, de visar blixtarna i realtid och man får ett litet blixtljud och en markör med en expanderande ring som jag gissar är en uppskattning av hur fort ljudet från åskan rör sig.

My favorite app for this is Windy, you can see the predictions here:

Looks like from now til about 4am it'll be good, but maybe shift back to smoke around sunrise.
Thought I would storm chase yesterday. Checked on Windy weather radar, and there was a lovely brew flashing away in mid Germany. Took off from the airport directly beneath the path - and nothing. Showers falling all around so I went for the darkest. Nothing. Not even rain on canopy
btw. If you have not used windy it is incredibly comprehensive. It even shows upper level winds to FL45 and, with an addon, can show a lot of airspace map overlays
If you'd like to see a real-time map of what's being described in this post, check out windy.com's wave visualization. You can see the district areas of different wave directions, even flip back and forth to compare it with wind.
Here's the site I use for satellite imaging. It's decently high resolution and has a lot of configurable options, but it's no replacement for a decent weather radar.
Windy's pretty good too, but I find it looks cartoony.
However it looks like Vatican power outage narrative is fake.
Hourly snapshots in windy.com above from different camera never show lights off. Moment lights turn on you can see police car light just get’s brighter, someone messed with camera exposure/darkness. Now we have a potential real conspiracy... who is faking stuff?
Of the many sites, the most reliable in my opinion is PurpleAir for current conditions:
https://www.purpleair.com/map?opt=1/mAQI/a10/cC0#9.84/45.4835/-122.5482
The reasons for this:
- You get to look at multiple monitors.
- ~~Each monitor~~ Some monitors, if you click on them, have a confidence level.
- This confidence level comes from the fact that ~~each monitor~~ some monitors actually have two measurement devices built in. Confidence is 100% when the two devices measure the same thing.
For predictions, that's much more difficult, as there are virtually no services that do this kind of prediction. The 2,000 AQI claim is based off of the modelling on windy:
https://www.windy.com/-PM2-5-pm2p5?cams,pm2p5,45.069,-122.772,9
This is based off of satellite data, which uses reflected light. Because of this it is likely (but obviously not guaranteed) that the numbers here could be high.
However, in this situation it is likely more prudent to prepare for the possibility that it's not. At this moment, the windy data and the purpleair data actually match fairly well, which is not encouraging.
EDIT:
An additional note: some of the AQI monitors are actually indoors, not outdoors, and not all of them are properly marked as such. This is what causes the enormous variance that some people are seeing between various websites, or even on the same site. For instance, at the moment Salem has one monitor reporting an AQI of 80 right next to one that's over 300. This is because one of them is indoors.
For today, there's tail-crosswind potential in the last quarter of the stage. The final 45km lead the peloton from Castres to Lavaur in a straight line, with the wind coming from the southeast. There's a wind speed of 10kt (18.5km/h) with gusts op to 22kt (40.7) km/h) between those places, which can be considered a fresh to strong breeze.
I'd say echelons are a possible outcome, but not the most probable one. Fingers crossed.
Only thing I'm worried about is wind blowing towards Healdsburg.
Wind updates with further projections
The good news for Mumbaikars (but not so good for those living on the southern coasts of the state) is that it seems like the cyclone seems to be moving down south.
Yesterday morning, according to this site, the epicenter was close to Palghar (North of Mumbai), according to the predictions at night, it was at Alibaug (South of Mumbai and as of now, it seems to be landing near Dapoli (further down south).
I'm in the north western suburbs and as of now there's no strong winds or rain at the moment.
The sky is blue-ish, there is still a haze and the air quality isn't excellent. https://www.windy.com/-PM2-5-pm2p5?cams,pm2p5,2020010806,-34.960,149.925,8,m:cGsakjz This suggests tomorrow is going to be smoky again. Until the fires are out we can't really say with certainty that things are 'back to normal'.
The high altitude wind is blowing directly at the north island of NZ, so most of the high altitude "aerosol" dust missed Sydney and is over Auckland instead: https://i.imgur.com/GRjSL3Q.png

Real time temperature data mapped visually on windy.com. One of my go to for all things atmospheric. Be sure to check out the other layers, such as CO concentration, where day and night China is undeniably one heavy contributor.
El problema de la concentración de la contaminación es debido en parte a el viento en la ciudad ha estado detenido. Windy Gif tambien lo puedes ver en tiempo real en el Sitio de Windy
>Do some research!!!!
Did some. 25 degrees below zero in Point Barrow, Alaska at this moment. Right now I'd be looking for a boiling pot of water too.
Arctic Ice keeps On Advancing. (try to keep up with current data)
Personalmente no he tenido problemas con Flybondi. Tuve un reintegro con ellos y fueron mas que razonables. De hecho, cuando solicité el reintegro, el vuelo no estaba cancelado, pero fué cuando estaba toda la incertidumbre con los imbéciles de justicia legítima tratando de bloquear EPA, les dije que era un connecting flight y no podía arriesgarme, y me dieron un voucher válido por un año por el total de mi compra. No tengo quejas.
Respecto del re-schedule, tenés que hablar con la Aerolinea, metete en la página y andá al Chat, en general te atienden al toque.
La cancelación es lógica, mirá como estaba EPA mas temprano: https://www.windy.com/SADP?-34.616,-58.611,12,m:cHwaext
No podés aterrizar ahí IFR hasta que no mejoren el ILS. De todas formas, este es el último update dice SADP 051245Z 36002KT 3000 BR NSC 08/06 Q1019, con esa visibilidad pueden operar en Palomar sin problemas, asique estimo que van a reschedulear para el resto del día.
Hablá con la Aerolinea, solo ellos te van a saber decir. De última, fijate si conseguís otro vuelo, probablemente Andes tenga algo hoy o mañana temprano, y hablá con Flybondi diciendolés que no podés esperar y pediles un reintegro.
It's not hitting the whole country at once. Depending on where you are in the country, it will hit at different times. At the moment I think it has started on the southern coastline. As it travels more north it will hit the rest of the country. Here is an article that shows more precise times of when the storm will hit. Windy is a fun website too because you can see an illustration of the storm and see how bad the wind will hit your area.
I have a question, sorry I am a n00b: I was checking out wind maps like this and this and, is it just me, or are there a lot of swirling vortexs that look like cyclones and tropical storms? Below Anchorage, Alaska there is one. Then just across the ocean off the coast of Russia there is one. I also see one in the Pacific ocean not that far from Tijuana. Are these super common and we only hear about them when they hit land? Or is a lot going on right now?
Windy.com is a pretty fantastic site for anyone who wants to watch the weather unfold in real time. Right now the storm is poised in the Gulf, but it doesn't look happy.
Sure! You have to use this link to generate the map: https://www.windy.com/-Embed-widget-on-page/widgets
Once you click on it, it should automatically insert your longitude and latitude at the end. Then you configure the attributes by clicking on the top right icon on the map itself, depending whether you want to see rain or humidity or whatever.
Then you use the link it gives you in the bottom left (everything after "src") in a webpage card (iframe). I'm actually using five different windy maps and cycle through them using an input select (those blue buttons above it).
Didn’t realize post re-opened. Captured this image on a weather radar application. Link for those curious. it’s a really cool site either way. . These lines were showing up under the ‘weather radar’ option on the right hand side.
Open https://www.windy.com then select Air Quality NO2 from the right hand toolbar then zoom out to the world. That will give an indication as to where the global air pollution problems are.
There is one slight caveat though. Much of the world has outsourced production to China and India so if we hypothetically moved manufacturing of everything we buy back to the UK the map may look a little different.
A lot of the North Down coast, specifically Ballyholme Bay and on round to Orlock (Portavoe Beach) and Donaghadee Harbour.
Top tip from me: Always check tide times and wind strength. These will directly impact your experience.
e.g.: Ballyholme Bay tide time and Ballyholme Bay wind readings.
Incense and haze smell differently, the smell for the past few days is that of haze. And also Sumatra has a high concentration of PM2.5 around the town of Duri, which may be the source of the current haze.
No it’s not. And also it has always been an issue with one of the camera’s contrast. The drama at Vatican is a fabrication. No power outage. Nobody missing. Nothing. It’s all made up nonsense.
Same with this post. The WH isn’t dark.
it looks like the north Atlantic forecast for Sunday and yes I agree it's an artifact of calculation. Realistically it's a region of light and severely shifting winds.
You can clearly see here that not a single light went off last night on the square, like others claim. Also, the Pope appeared at noon for the usual Angelus.

I currently use https://earth.nullschool.net/ for winds at altitude, which is coincidentally helpful for flightsimming. For instance, the South Pacific jet stream is perfect right now to make the really long island-hopping legs on my props-only world circumnavigation. :D
EDIT: and I just found https://www.windy.com/ with even more stuff, including fine-grained altitude selection for wind, and choosing between ECMWF and GFS.
