If you’re looking for a weather resource with a bit more substance than your phone’s standard temperature app, the National Weather Service’s website is just the thing. This in-depth look at the country’s weather is fascinating for meteorology enthusiasts and anyone who wants a more accurate look at the weather patterns in various areas.
The main page on this site gives visitors a large, interactive map of the entire country, with each area’s unique weather detailed by color. A bold red patch warns of a possible blizzard, while bright green alerts residents that a coastal flood is on the horizon. The National Weather Service site also provides numerous national forecast maps, from aviation to marine to climate prediction.
If you’re interested in the past weather patterns for anywhere in the U.S., this website has that as well. Browse average monthly temperatures, check out astronomical data, and even look at a nationwide map of the average area temperatures for the past few weeks. There’s much more here, too, making the National Weather Service’s site a very useful resource!
