With Google Earth you can now see in real time where it’s raining, where snowfalls are in place and which portions of the sky are covered by clouds at the moment . This new feature is accessible using the 5.2 release of the software developed by Google.
The weather information is collected by Google through the resources made available by Weather.com, NOWrad and other military and civil organizations. By comparing the radar images provided by Google to other online services we noted a certain inconsistency of information, particularly for some areas close to the Alps.
In addition to information from weather radar Google Earth 5.2 also provides information on clouds, and this reveals further interesting options for the possibility of see an animation on the last 6 or 24 hours. Additional information is available at this address.
