Hello fellow (virtual) aviators!
Yesterday - while checking sigmets for groundlings (i.e. severe weather warnnings for the city I live in) I stumbled across an awesome new toy. At you can find a global depiction of major winds, precipitation, pressure and cloud coverarge. It is by far not as precise as one would need for flightplanning etc. BUT as the golden rule of flightplanning goes: use all the sources you can get.
Plus - honestly - it's absolutly awesome to see the whole world weather (especially the major pressure systems) in 3D and animation. I will definitley bore my students with that little thing :devil:
Cheers and happy landings!
Pete
