Zoom Earth

It combines satellite imagery, rain radar, and forecast models in a single interactive map. You can explore current weather and upcoming changes using clear layers that are easy to switch. It is available on web and mobile, and it supports multiple languages and customizable units so you can use it comfortably anywhere.

Features

Near real time satellite imagery

Zoom Earth shows frequent satellite updates from GOES, Himawari, and Meteosat, with refreshes about every 10 minutes and a typical 20 to 40 minute delay. It also includes high definition imagery from NASA Aqua and Terra twice a day. This helps you watch clouds, storms, and smoke with clear context.

Live rain radar with short term guidance

The rain radar layer displays precipitation where available and offers short term nowcasting in supported regions. It is in beta, so coverage varies by country and data may be limited. This is useful for timing showers and planning around local rain.

Hurricane and cyclone tracking

Zoom Earth tracks tropical systems using updates from NHC, JTWC, NRL, and the IBTrACS archive. You can follow development, forecast tracks, and intensity changes on a simple map. Moreover, you can use the track view to compare past and current positions for better awareness.

Forecast layers powered by global models

Forecast maps use DWD ICON and NOAA NCEP GFS to display precipitation, wind speed and gusts, temperature including feels like and wet bulb, humidity, dew point, and pressure. You can step through time to see how conditions may evolve. In addition, you can inspect point values by tapping the map.

Wildfire heat and smoke monitoring

Daily heat spots from NASA FIRMS help you identify potential wildfire activity. GeoColor views provide context on smoke movement over large areas. Therefore, you can check fire weather conditions alongside wind and humidity layers.

Flexible experience across devices

Zoom Earth offers the same core features on the website and the app so you do not have to relearn controls. It supports multiple languages, custom units, and time formats to match your preferences. Also, an optional Zoom Earth Pro subscription adds extra features and helps support ongoing development.

Data sources and updates in Zoom Earth

Zoom Earth uses authoritative environmental data and explains the timing so you know what you are seeing. Satellite views update about every 10 minutes with a normal delay, and high definition imagery arrives twice per day. Radar is in beta and is not available in all locations, while daily heat spots show recent detections and are not live.

• Satellites: GOES, Himawari, Meteosat, plus NASA Aqua and Terra high definition imagery.
• Forecast models: DWD ICON and NOAA NCEP GFS for global coverage.
• Hurricanes: Official tracks and updates via NHC, JTWC, NRL, and IBTrACS.
• Fires and smoke: NASA FIRMS heat spots and GeoColor views for smoke context.

These sources help ensure consistent global coverage. However, local data differences can affect timing and granularity, especially for radar and nowcasting.

Free and Pro in Zoom Earth

The Zoom Earth app and website include the same free core features, such as satellite layers, radar where available, and forecast maps. You can use them without an account. In addition, Zoom Earth Pro offers extra capabilities and supports the service, which is helpful if you need advanced tools.

Global settings in Zoom Earth

Zoom Earth includes a multi language interface so you can browse in a language you know. You can switch temperature, wind, and pressure units and adjust time formats to match local standards. Therefore, the experience adapts to your region and habits.

How to use Zoom Earth

This quick guide explains how to check current weather and hazards with Zoom Earth. It focuses on finding your location, choosing layers, and viewing storm details. Follow the steps to get reliable context fast.

1. Open the app and allow location access, or use the search bar to find a place.
2. Tap the layer icon and select Rain, Wind, Temperature, Pressure, or another layer you need.
3. After that, pinch to zoom and drag the map to explore nearby areas, then tap the map for exact values and timestamps.
4. Open the timeline to step forward and backward to view recent and upcoming changes, then switch to Forecast to check model guidance.
5. So you can watch hazards, tap the hurricane icon to see active systems, then select a storm to view the track, intensity, and official updates.

FAQs

Is Zoom Earth a free app?

Yes, Zoom Earth is free to use for core features on both the app and the website. You can view satellite, radar where available, and forecast layers without paying. Zoom Earth Pro is optional and adds extra tools.

Is Zoom Earth better than Google Earth?

Zoom Earth focuses on live weather, hurricanes, and smoke, while Google Earth focuses on 3D maps and geographic exploration. Your choice depends on your goal. If you need real time weather context, Zoom Earth offers layers built for that purpose.

How do I check a rain alert in Zoom Earth?

Use the Rain radar layer and short term nowcasting to monitor approaching showers in supported regions. You can step through the timeline to see movement and intensity changes. For official alerts, always follow your local meteorological agency.

How do I get Zoom Earth on my phone?
