Instruments and stations
Every instrument that reports weather in the country, counted by the state it stands in. Press a state to open its own list, where each one names what it stands at, its county, its coordinate and its height. Darker is denser: Texas holds the most at 6,120, District of Columbia the fewest at 25.
What this map opens
- Every instrument, drawn where it stands. All 72,881 of them over the country, each in the colour of the network it reports on.
- Press a state and it opens. The country falls away, that state fills the frame, and every instrument in it names itself: what it stands at, its county, its coordinate, its height.
- And the whole state as a table under it. Sorted by rank, by height, by name or by what reads it, searchable, with its own charts and its own rankings.
Open it with Pro or the API planEvery instrument has its own page either way. Start from a state below.
