An interactive weather map of the world: spin the globe and see where it's sunniest, warmest, coldest or rainiest in any month — 3,800+ destinations, every one with its own airport.
The smooth globe spin paired with snapping to 3,800 airports is such a satisfying touch. Whoever designed the month slider really nailed the balance between playful and precise.
Love that every destination has its own airport listed. Such a small touch but it makes the whole thing feel usable instead of just pretty.
How does it handle destinations where the nearest airport is actually a few hundred miles away, like remote islands or mountain towns?
question on the underlying data since that's what actually matters for trip planning: is "sunny in January" based on long-term historical climate averages, or something closer to real recent-year patterns? asking because climate averages can quietly lie to you now, a place that was reliably dry in january for the last 30 years isn't necessarily still dry in january given how much regional weather patterns have shifted in just the last several years. and how is "sunny" itself scored, percentage of clear-sky days, hours of sunshine, something else
Spun the globe to random places and it instantly showed airports and weather patterns, which is way more useful than I expected for trip planning.
The spinning globe feature is genuinely fun to play with, especially jumping between destinations to compare December weather in Sydney versus Reykjavik. I appreciated seeing every spot tied to an airport, which makes it practical for planning actual trips.
Spent way too long spinning the globe looking for the sunniest spots in February, smooth and fast with real airport info right there. The rain vs sun toggling is genuinely fun to mess with.
The globe spin feels so natural and the airport detail for every destination is a clever touch, makes it actually useful for trip planning.
