Screenshot

None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in addresses.json (capture: only if its terms allow: otherwise the link). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.

What it shows, and how

A full-screen animated map (wind particles over a colour field) with a layer menu (wind, gusts, rain, waves, pressure), a model switch (ECMWF, GFS, ICON, AROME) and a time slider along the bottom; click a point for a forecast table that compares models; radar, satellite, webcams and station reports as layers. Embeddable as an iframe with a chosen place, layer and model.

Forms: maps, models, timeline-hourly, radar, satellite, embed, api.

Seen in a browser (23:48 UTC, 2026-11-10): The gust layer over Portugal rendered as a full-screen map with place labels; no text about warnings.

What it does best

The model switch on the same map and the same hour: the fastest way to see whether models agree on where the low goes.

What we take from it

If we show a moving map, embed it with its credit rather than copy it; keep it below the fold, since it loads slowly and says nothing about decisions.

Data and models it says it uses

Model switch on the map: ECMWF, GFS, ICON, AROME and others (product knowledge; the model list was not read in this pass). Observador's embeds name GFS and ECMWF.

Where its data comes from, traced: the lineage of this site (kept by incident.meteorology@).

API and feeds

paid Point Forecast and Map Forecast APIs; free embed widget (iframe)
