How up-to-date are wind measurements on the weather map?

Click on any of the measurement icons, to view the name of the weather station, the current available measurement data and the point in time when the data was measured.

The wind strength an speed values given by weather stations differ considerably from those implied by the colored map overlay!

Real-time measurements represent the most up-to-date available wind and weather data, while the colored forecast overlays represents weather conditions as they were calculated and forecasted by our forecast models. You may compare measurements and forecasts by simply selecting the current time for forecasts from the calendar / timeline element at the bottom of the weather map. Please note that forecasted weather and actual measurements might diverge significantly due to a number of factors.
You can find more information about our real-time wind and weather reports in the corresponding help articles.
