Satellite Weather Cloud Map brings you the freshest weather imagery available for North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and lets you animate it at your own speed. Watch hurricanes roaring in off the ocean, or thunderstorms forming in the midwest. See how the shape of upper air features steers the weather we experience! Satellite Weather Cloud Map is a great application for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that displays animated images of clouds around your current location, allowing you to quickly see what weather is coming your way. Satellite images provide an excellent view on the clouds in the sky and an indication of the weather over the North American continent, Europe, Japan, Australia and Indonesia. You will get real time detailed, stunning and sharp images on top of zoomable maps for not only rain and snow, but also tornados and hail. The data is provided by NOAA-NASA GOES and EUMETSAT satellites. The app also allows you to check the weather on your favorite places on maps. Interactive map includes live international weather conditions, local weather and time, ten-day forecasts and sunrise/sunset times for multiple places. You can add placemarks on the map to represent your favorite places or the places youd like to visit. At a glance you can see the time and weather for all of your favorites. Satellite images come from satellites which remain above a fixed point on the Earth (i.e. they are geostationary). Lighter areas of cloud show where the cloud tops are cooler and therefore where weather features like fronts and shower clouds are.
