What is a weather map

Visual weather maps show a variety of weather elements, giving you an intuitive sense of the global weather state, where it's hotter, where it's drier, and even the probability of the aurora happening.

If you're familiar with geographic information, you can also quickly find the city you want and see how they are weather.

Animation of the weather map

The weather map includes two animations:

• Wind: Shows the direction and grade of current winds around the world.
• Waves: Shows the direction of the global waves.

You can double-click the map to zoom in, or control zoom-in/out with two fingers.

How to distinguish the UV index

UV Index	Level	Recommended protection
0-2	Low	A UV index reading of 0 to 2 means low danger from the Sun's UV rays for the average person. Wear sunglasses on bright days. If you burn easily, cover up and use broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Bright surfaces, such as sand, water, and snow, will increase UV exposure.
3-4	Moderate	A UV index reading of 3 to 5 means moderate risk of harm from unprotected Sun exposure. Stay in shade near midday when the Sun is strongest. If outdoors, wear Sun protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 1.5 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright surfaces, such as sand, water, and snow, will increase UV exposure.
5-6	High	A UV index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from unprotected Sun exposure. Protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Reduce time in the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If outdoors, seek shade and wear Sun protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 1.5 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright surfaces, such as sand, water, and snow, will increase UV exposure.
7-9	Very high	A UV index reading of 8 to 10 means very high risk of harm from unprotected Sun exposure. Take extra precautions because unprotected skin and eyes will be damaged and can burn quickly. Minimize Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If outdoors, seek shade and wear Sun protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 1.5 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright surfaces, such as sand, water, and snow, will increase UV exposure.
10+	Extreme	A UV index reading of 11 or more means extreme risk of harm from unprotected Sun exposure. Take all precautions because unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. Try to avoid Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If outdoors, seek shade and wear Sun protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 1.5 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Bright surfaces, such as sand, water, and snow, will increase UV exposure.

Why does it show that it will rain tomorrow but not?

Because of the "forecast" of the weather, the forecast is a science of prediction, and because of the complexity of the climate phenomenon, there is no 100% way to fully simulate, predict and control weather phenomena. At present, rain accuracy can reach 85% and above, equal to or slightly better than the world's highest level, in fact, the weather forecast is still very valuable trust.

Why is it raining but it show sunny?

We'll all have a similar experience, with rain already beginning outside, but turning on the weather forecast app shows cloudy, cloudy and even sunny because:

1. 1. There is some delay in live weather, in other words, the live weather is not so real-time. The production process of live weather is about three steps: each weather site report - report data processing - external release, these processes take 5-20 minutes to complete. So it's often a few minutes after it really starts to rain before we see on the APP that the weather has turned into rain.
2. 2. Weather data cover an area where only a small portion of the rain is likely, while the rest is cloudy, coincidentally you are in the part of the rain.
3. 3. Meteorological observatories are direct, separate, and climate phenomena are complex and widespread, and when we use data from one point to describe a surface phenomenon, there is an inevitable deviation that is the driving force behind our constant efforts to reduce it.
