The Alerts and Weather section of ClimateViewer.org features in one place a large and diverse collection of over 90 LIVE interactive maps shared by government agencies, universities and other sources that allow public distribution of up-to-the-minute, hourly or daily updates of current, past 24 hour, 5-day or historical activities related to air quality, hurricanes and tropical storms, thunderstorms, wind, lightning, rainfall, snow, river flooding, drought, earthquakes, forest fires, smoke detection, and volcano eruptions.
This section contains live maps that are either updated every few minutes, hourly, or daily. These maps are pulled from different government, university, and private sources when you load them and are subject to occassional outages.
When viewing these maps please consider that they are for informational purposes only and usage may be subject to tracking by the individual providers, which is not controllable by ClimateViewer Maps. If you are concerned about privacy, please use a virtual private network (VPN) and avoid being tracked!
