New Weather Visuals Interactive Preview!
We are very excited to share with you an interactive preview of a new suite of weather visualizations that will be available in the next release of the Mountain Weather UK App.
Using the latest modern technology to bring you beautiful mountain weather visualizations, including wind, pressure, temperature, precipitation, freezing level, cloud cover, sun and UV, all rendered as interactive, hour-by-hour UK Synoptic map, and regional & summit weather map visualizations. This takes mountain weather forecasting to the next level.
This web version preview features some of the new visualizations that will be available in the next release of the Mountain Weather UK App.
The Synoptic Weather Visuals bring the forecast to life with interactive, real-time maps of the UK and Ireland. See wind flows animated across the landscape, precipitation types (rain, snow, sleet and thunder) plotted by location, temperature, atmospheric pressure gradients & animated isobars, freezing levels, cloud layers from valley fog to high cirrus, and sunshine duration with UV index - all beautifully presented.
Regional visualizations put the bigger picture in context. View regional weather visualizations for all 37 regions across the UK & Ireland so you can access the weather forecast by mountain region. In this preview we provide 3 regions.
Summit specific three-dimensional isometric weather visualizations render the actual terrain around that summit, with the forecast wind data drawn directly on top of it. Plus a mountain elevation profile showing freezing level and cloud cover, and a unique 3D wind terrain view.
Introducing New Weather Animations in v2.2
The Mountain Weather UK App v2.2 has now been released! This version includes new beautiful Mountain Weather Animations on the forecast page.
The animations use the weather data to produce animations based on the weather type, cloud cover, wind speed and direction. These are translated into weather animations using a physics engine to create the clouds and precipitation.
These are entirely optional and you can turn them off if you don't like them and just show the static weather backgrounds. Or you will also be able to turn both off and just have a plain background.
