The weather desk · any city, read live
The sky over
any city.
Name a city — any city the geocoder knows — and the board fills with what the sky is doing over it: the conditions right now, forty-eight hours of temperature drawn hour by hour in a strip, seven days barred low to high, and meters for the wind, the pressure and the air’s moisture. The numbers are Open-Meteo’s open forecast wire — model data, fetched by this page itself, no key, no account.
Board a city in the United States and the desk also reads the National Weather Service’s active-warnings wire at that point — the same alerts the government issues — and says plainly when there are none. Your city and your unit are remembered in this browser and nowhere else.

The board
One city. The whole picture.
Search any city on Earth and board it. The desk refreshes itself every ten minutes while you watch, says when it last read the wire, and a press of the button reads it again on the spot.
Conditions
waiting for the wire
Hour by hour in the city’s own clock, inked by the temperature scale; midnights wear the weekday.
Each bar sits where the day sits in the week’s own range; the blue figure is the chance of precipitation.

The warnings
What the government is saying.
For a United States city the desk reads the National Weather Service’s active-alerts wire at the boarded point — the event, its severity, the areas named, and when it runs out, exactly as issued. The wire is federal and covers the United States only; board a city elsewhere and the desk says that plainly.

The map
Forty-two cities, stamped live.
A register of forty-two cities — a name and a coordinate pair each, nothing more — laid on a plain graticule and stamped with their live temperatures off one read of the wire, inked by the temperature scale. Click a stamp and the board reads that city.

The ring is the boarded city — it wears its name; every figure is a live read.
About
A desk, not a forecast office.
Every number on the board is Open-Meteo’s: an open, keyless forecast API that blends national weather models — ICON, GFS, ECMWF and their kin — into one wire. What it publishes is a model’s view, not a rooftop instrument: “current” means the model’s freshest hour, which is why it can disagree with the thermometer outside your window by a degree or two. The city search is Open-Meteo’s geocoder, backed by the GeoNames register.
The warnings are the National Weather Service’s active-alerts feed, read at the boarded coordinates and shown exactly as issued. It is a United States federal wire with no view of the rest of the world, so a city abroad gets an honest “outside the wire” rather than an empty list pretending to be a quiet one.
What the wire does not say, the desk does not invent. A read that fails is reported as a failure; a partial read says which part. The forty-two cities on the map are a register — names and coordinates only — and every temperature stamped on them was fetched moments ago. Your boarded city and your unit live in this browser and nowhere else, and the desk re-reads the wire every ten minutes while you watch.
