Title

Weather Bonk - Live Weather, Forecasts, WebCams, and more on a Google Map

Description

Weather Bonk is a mashup that lets you view real time weather information on a map. This can provide some very interesting information, particularly in areas with microclimates, such as San Francisco. For example, summer in San Francisco can be particularly cold and foggy, and this map can help you to find a sunnier area of the city to visit. Clicking on the web cams give you a visual observation from a given location. Looking at wind direction can help you locate approaching weather fronts.

The data comes from a combination of personal weather stations that are run from homes and schools as well as national weather services. Weather Underground, Weather Bug, Citizen Weather Observer Program, and National Weather Service are four of the major sites that compile this data. By default the map only displays a limited amount of data. Selecting 'All Weather' will display additional points but may take longer.

You may enter a 'city', 'state', 'province', 'zipcode', 'country', or 'airport code'. Note: state and provicences currently only work for US and Canada. It is suggested that you enter a city with its associated state or country to give you the desired result. For example, entering 'houston' might not work because there is a Houston in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, British Columbia etc.. In addition, you can overlay points from multiple locations by separating each query with a semi-colon(;). For example, '33010;33446' will give you points along the southeast coast of Florida. Note, at this time Google does not have detailed street maps for all countries. If you see broken image links in the background, Google has not yet created street maps for your area. In this case, keep zooming out until the map appears, or switch to satellite view.
