## Description

WeatherMap+ is an interactive weather map app that lets you pan and zoom around a world map and switch weather layers to see current and future conditions. It provides high-detail data with up to 0.25-degree resolution across land and sea.

View a consolidated overview of cloudiness, precipitation, temperature, wind speed, and pressure in one view, and toggle between layers (all layers, temperature, wind, and pressure) to see how conditions change. It also offers a 5-day forecast. WeatherMap+ was featured by The New York Times in 2012.
