Welcome to Version 2 of Parking Winds Visualizer. This version is currently in production and features are still being added.

This page is phase 1 of the PWV, focusing on a complete front end remake using a dynamic map instead of premade images. As such, only information present on the original page is present here, until Phase 2 starts, which is a overhaul of the backend server to add more features.

All wind data is obtained from AviationWeather.gov's Data API. Temperature information is obtained from Tomorrow.io API v4 with limited usage plan of 500 requests per day.

Change Log

• Moved most of the information to a sidebar to reduce clutter on the main page Wind Icon: Buttons to select wind data. Text Icon: METAR and TAF data. Airplane Icon: Unit selection.
• Added some basic mobile responsiveness. The sidebar will start collapsed on smaller screens
• BUG FIX: Fixed an issue where unable to load error would occur if any wind component was missing or variable (i.e. not a number)

• CURRENT WORKING FEATURES

• Street and Satellite Maps available
• Full TAF and METAR data available
• Toggle between current winds, current gusts, the most prevelant wind and the highest forcasted gusts in the next 24 hours
• Replaced arrows with wind barbs. A quick refresher on wind barbs:
  • Winds are coming from the direction of the barbs, TOWARDS the center of the aircraft. Imagine the line is an arrow and the barbs are the feathers
  • Each long barb represents 10 knots
  • Each short barb represents 5 knots
  • Each triangle represents 50 knots

• IN DEVELOPMENT FEATURES FROM VERSION 1.0

• Recreating the information panel to include time periods of expected wind catagories
• Incorporating temperature
• Wind and Temperature warnings

• UPCOMING FEATURES

  Thanks to the new dynamic map, I can now add more features that were not possible in the original version. These include:
• Easier incorporation of new units through an on map system to point and click on parking spots and add to the database.
• Realtime weather over-layed over the map
• More customization
