Live Weather Map
Weather Radar
Live weather map using real-time satellite imagery from three major geostationary satellite systems: NOAA GOES-East, NOAA GOES-West, and JMA Himawari. Together they provide near-continuous views of clouds, storms, rains and atmospheric motion across most of the Earth’s populated regions.

Coverage
GOES-East focuses on the Americas and the Atlantic, GOES-West covers the western United States, the eastern Pacific, and Hawai‘i, while Himawari watches East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the western Pacific. When combined, you can follow weather systems as they travel from one ocean basin to another.
What You See
Satellite layers usually include visible (daylight cloud detail), infrared (cloud-top temperature day and night), and sometimes water vapor (moisture in the mid and upper atmosphere). These views help you quickly spot deep convection, cold cloud tops, dry slots, and large-scale circulation patterns.
Storm Tracking
This map is especially useful for tracking hurricanes in the Atlantic, tropical storms in the eastern Pacific, and typhoons in the western Pacific. You can watch eye formation, cloud-band structure, and outflow, then compare changes over time to understand strengthening or weakening trends.
Regional Detail
Because geostationary satellites update frequently, the map is great for monitoring fast-changing conditions such as thunderstorm development, winter fronts, marine fog, and dust or smoke plumes. It also helps you see how weather interacts with coastlines, mountains, and deserts at a broad scale.
Update
The satellite imagery on this map is updated approximately every 10 minutes, providing near real-time monitoring of global weather systems. This frequent refresh rate allows users to follow the development and movement of cloud formations, storm systems, and large-scale atmospheric patterns with minimal delay.
