16 Bit Weather is a retro terminal for real meteorology — a command center that puts live data and the science behind it on the same screen. Search any city for a free Open-Meteo forecast with current conditions, hourly detail, a seven-day outlook, air quality, pollen, and UV. No API key, no account, no paywall.
The live radar map animates recent precipitation with severe overlays on top. The warning desk ranks active National Weather Service warnings against your pin, polygon match first, and Bitwatch alerts email or push Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm, and Flash Flood Warnings for a Protected Place without an account. From there the season decides: SPC convective outlooks, winter storm and ice warnings, aviation weather, live earthquakes, and tonight's sky.
The space weather monitor follows the planetary Kp index, GOES X-ray flux for solar flares, solar wind, sunspots, and aurora chances straight from NOAA SWPC — the same feeds forecasters watch, laid out so you can read them at a glance.
A forecast only means something if you know what it describes. The education hub holds a cloud atlas, weather systems and phenomena guides, and a plain-English weather glossary. City climate guides such as Boston and Atlanta go further, explaining what a place's weather actually does month by month.
