Live Weather Reports in Google Earth
By Nick on August 23, 2008
Here’s a great feature of Google Earth I didn’t know about. Under “Layers” in the sidebar, there’s an option for Weather. Enabling that option covers the globe in clouds and little thermometers that show you what the weather is like right now!

The weather information is pulled in every 15 minutes from Weather.com, and the clouds update hourly with the latest data from the Naval Research Laboratory in Monterey.
Learn more about Google Earth Weather on the Google Lat Long Blog, and next time you go on a virtual trip, don’t forget to check the weather!
