Weather 3D

A change of viewpoint alters the view across the roofs of Vienna’s old town. Take your time in the model: move closer to the buildings, pull back above the roofs, then choose another place. The sky follows the selected weather time.

Change your view

Drag with the mouse button held down to rotate the view. Use the mouse wheel to zoom. On a phone, rotate with one finger and pinch two fingers together or apart to change the distance.

Use the place selector to choose one of the available viewpoints. The compass marked N indicates north. The fullscreen symbol expands the scene to fill the screen.

On a phone, open More 3D controls for the additional buttons. View sequence moves automatically through several viewpoints. Pause animation stops the ongoing movement.

Now and later

The timeline covers the available next 48 hours. Tomorrow and Day after tomorrow offer times where forecast data is available. Preview advances time and viewpoints automatically; Now returns to the current time.

Live weather means a view using the latest available data. Current values may also come from a weather model. For later times, the scene shows the forecast. Open the weather details for the values and data timestamp. Choose Demo to enter the weather lab and select your own weather patterns.

What the scene shows

The sky, light and weather effects illustrate data for the selected time. They are not footage from a weather camera. People, vehicles and lighting are animated; they do not reveal actual traffic conditions or the number of people at a location.

Weather data and the city model

Weather forecasts are supplied through Open-Meteo. Sun and moon positions are calculated for the location and time. Additional weather sources, where available, are named alongside the relevant display.

Buildings and terrain are based on the open city model (LoD 2.1) and terrain data from the City of Vienna. Datenquelle: Stadt Wien - data.wien.gv.at. Licence: CC BY 4.0. The data has been clipped and simplified for this view.
