Thanks! :) By all means do, we need more playful software if you ask me!

Can I ask what data source you use? I have yet to find one which covers my part of the globe, provides data for free, and gives some measure of confidence of the values reported.

I’m using DarkSky which gives you 1000 requests per day for free, and beyond that the pricing is quite reasonable.

Thanks! Yes I'm thinking about it!

Would it be possible for me to inquire as to what library you used to generate the smoke samples for your app? I have a project where I wanted to do something very similar (just not for weather), and I've been having the hardest time finding a good library for it!

No library, I wrote the SDF/raymarching shaders from scratch. But there are libraries out there...

Holy wow, that's pretty amazing! You should consider making it into a opensource library for others to use, it's truly beautiful! Thank you for making this project.

Thank you, I appreciate it! :) There's https://kev.town/raymarching-toolkit/ but I haven't tried it. Looks promising!
