Rings at 50 and 150 km — the same two the counts above use. The blue mark is the coastal point every sea reading on this page is taken at. The rose is the 72-hour mean wind, pointing the way the air is going. Each layer above is its own address, so a view can be shared. Coastline from Natural Earth at 110 m — regional context, not a survey.

How this page is put together

Every figure above comes from one of these, and every one of them is redrawn from the live feed each hour.

Sea, sun and the water you swim in
Sea, sun and the water you swim inFor a destination: the fires near it, sea temperature at the coast rather than the town centre, the UV band, and the EU bathing-water classification.
Every fire on Earth
Every fire on EarthThermal anomalies from VIIRS at 375 m, three platforms, refreshed every hour and about three hours behind the overpass.
