And there are two other animated hurricanes in the world to watch, clearly visible as red marked compact circles of wind, in the Bay of Bengal and near Bermuda, though less impressive by degrees.

Real time world wind and temperature map, in motion. Ocean current motion view also.

It is my favorite non-app app.

Sorry, you may have to cut and paste the link.

Be sure to play around with the zoom and the overlays, press on the Earth button.

Tip: You can preset your locale for local information if you have location finder on your device enabled.

5. The "ocean" mode is also amazing. (nt)

11. Truly....the current speeds, temp and flow pattern are breathtaking. Our planet, our home.

Really need to zoom in fully to appreciate the intricacy of it all.

The whole thing reminds me of the human blood system...a living thing.

You can kind of guestimate.

Seriously love this, Fred! The whorls and the movement - really gives you a profound sense of our earth as a living, moving, breathing organism.

Breath-taking!!!

Counterclockwise in the northern.
