Archive Weather Maps and Data

[Rob Thompson]

When looking at some of the great cloud photos here I often like to check out the weather maps and data to see what was actually happening at the time and date when the photo was taken.

Doing this however, does transfer the whole process from the right side of the brain firmly over to the left side. If you just want to savour the beauty of the cloud….. Don’t do it!

Here are some weather archive links I have used. It would be good to get a few more for various other parts of the world.

Australia:

Thanks for sharing these links Rob.

Btw: I like to feed the left and the right side of the brain as well. Beauty flourishes with explanation and a nice explanation is beauty itself.
