Weather maps

Processing temperature and radar data and putting it on maps

What is it?

A personal project where I process weather data and put it on maps: temperature and radar data, with terrain and stations. The temperature map is live on metnet.hu.

What I did

My own work, from data processing to the finished map.

What I paid attention to

  • Temperature depends a lot on elevation, so the interpolation takes the terrain into account.
  • Without hillshading and isolines, it's hard to read the terrain from a coloured field.
  • With raster formats and netCDF, you need to understand how the data is structured.

Status

Personal project; the temperature map runs live on metnet.hu.
