Geeky, 24/7 worldwide weather site

I'm surprised this hasn't come up on @Leo Gura's blog yet. Such a fascinating site that displays global wind belts and other weather patterns. Yet another way of seeing how systems are interconnected.

@WonderSeeker I like it so much. I'll use it everyday from now. I don't even need another. 

Thank you a gazillion times for suggesting this.

@Preety_India Have you played around with the different settings on the right-hand side? You can look at the wind patterns at different altitudes in the atmosphere as well as blips of precipitation, lightning, clouds, ocean waves, pollutants, and live remote sensing imagery!

@WonderSeeker yea I did. It's awesome. 

I liked it so much, I put it in my signature lol.

I wonder how accurate it is.  Does anyone know about the way they put this together and what organizations are involved?

@Matt23 This will help. When in doubt, Wiki shit!

It's pretty accurate for up to +24 hours. I used it, and I still do, while sailing, simply for the forecast. I'm not sure how accurate it is globally though, only tested Europe and Morocco/Canaries area so far.
