It also offers every one of the more than 2 million images available on InstantWeatherMaps.com, as well as nearly 6 million app-exclusive images, including the GEFS Individual Members!*.
View weather model data from the GFS, NAM, RUC, GEFS, SREF, WW3, HRW, POLAR, NAEFS, and RTMA weather models. View maps from many regions, including but not limited to North America, South America, Africa, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Europe, and Asia. View upper-air maps of the USA at 11 levels and Skew-T plots of over 200 locations in North America, South America, Africa, and the North Pacific.
View radar mosaics from 12 regions of the United States. View radar images and loops of 8 different variables from over 150 US cities.
View an unparalleled selection of variables from the GFS, NAM and RAP (including Kuchera-method snowfall); as well as selected ECMWF variables, with the fastest loading speed available on any model app*.
View millions of maps from the GEFS, including the mean, max value, min value, control, and all 20 perturbations for over 60 variables!*
Select your desired map using the intuitive user interface. Then simply rotate the screen and your map will appear. Pinch to zoom, and swipe to scroll across the zoomed image. Swipe left or right with three or more fingers to move the forecast hour backward or forward.
Or, if you prefer, choose a variable to view either all forecast hours of that variable or a subset based on a user-definable interval. Use the easy-to-understand controls to manually step through the time sequence, or view an animated loop which can be sped up and slowed down. Pinch to zoom in and out, and swipe to scroll across the zoomed animation.
*Some features require subscriptions via in-app purchases to access.
Latest reviews of Instant Weather Maps Pro app for iPhone and iPad
This app does not work and I think it is a scam!!!!! Ive asked for myomere back, but nothing has been refunded. It you want a weather app dont waste your money. They got my $4.99 dont give them yours.
I paid $4.99 and then they wanted $49.99 per year to have a subscription to view the weather maps. DONT BUY!
Lots of good weather data, if the image is available.. And if it actually loads the right forecast hour.. Pretty useless when it doesnt though.
I use the instant weather maps site a lot, especially in winter, so I downloaded the app partly to see if it was better, and partly to support a great website. The app is really easy to use, and the loop feature is great...never been able to find this on the website, if its there. My only gripe is the fact the models seem to max out at 120 hours, hence 4 stars. Saying that, much beyond 5 days is always a bit ropy, and I can still go the website for long range views.
A++++ for easy to use! You can check all the weather models from the National Weather Service! Love it!
