Zoom Earth - Weather Forecast as a live weather map
Zoom Earth - Weather Forecast is a world weather map that also works as a hurricane tracker. It draws current conditions and forecasts onto a map you can move around, covering rain, wind, temperature and air pressure.
The listed uses are watching storms form, following wildfire smoke and checking conditions at a chosen location. It suits people who follow severe weather and want the picture on a map.
Satellite and radar views of current weather
Live satellite images come from NOAA GOES, JMA Himawari and EUMETSAT Meteosat, which the listing describes as geostationary satellites, and they refresh every 10 minutes. HD images from NASA's Aqua and Terra polar-orbiting satellites update twice a day.
The radar layer shows rain and snow detected by ground-based Doppler radar in real time. It also gives a short-term forecast produced by radar nowcasting.
Forecast layers for rain, wind and heat risk
The forecast maps use data from the DWD ICON and NOAA GFS weather models. The nine layers are precipitation (rain, snow and cloud cover on one map), surface wind speed and direction, wind gusts, air temperature at two metres, a feels-like temperature, relative humidity, dew point, wet-bulb temperature and sea-level pressure.
The wet-bulb layer is described on the listing as showing where people are at risk of heat stress. The pressure layer ties low-pressure areas to cloud and wind and high-pressure areas to clear skies and lighter winds.
Hurricane and wildfire tracking
Hurricane tracking follows a storm from development up to category 5. Its data comes from NHC, JTWC, NRL and IBTrACS. Wildfire tracking adds an overlay of active fires and heat spots from NASA FIRMS, updated daily.
Used alongside the GeoColor satellite imagery, the wildfire overlay shows how smoke moves and how fire weather develops, according to the listing.
Settings and Zoom Earth Pro subscription
Settings let you change temperature units, wind units, time zone and animation styles.
More features are available through Zoom Earth Pro, which is sold as an auto-renewable subscription. The charge goes to your Google Play account at purchase and renews at the end of each billing period, unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before that period ends.
What's new
- NHC Watches and Warnings. More accurate areas and now also available on the radar map.
- Measuring Menu. A clearer, easier-to-use menu for faster measurements.
- More Improvements. Other refinements and fixes throughout.
