Weather data, straight from the source — nothing dressed up in between.

Orbis Weather brings together live tropical, winter and severe weather information from official government agencies and trusted public networks into one place, without slowing it down, gatekeeping it, or presenting it as more certain than it is.

What We Do

Orbis Weather is a set of live weather tools, not a forecasting service of our own. Every map, chart and alert feed on this site pulls directly from the same official sources meteorologists use — we just make them faster to check.

Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific Basins Rain, wind, temperature and satellite in one view, plus the official NHC active-storms widget.

Sea Temperatures Live NOAA buoy and tide-station readings along every U.S. coastline we cover.

Surf Maps Wind, wave and swell forecasts alongside real-time buoy wave-height reports.

Live U.S. Hazards Nationwide tornado, winter weather and lightning trackers, refreshed continuously.

Global Tropical Tracker Worldwide cyclone and disturbance activity, with links to every basin's official forecast agency.

Historical Cyclone Tracks Decades of Atlantic and Pacific storm tracks, searchable by category.

How We Handle Data

A few rules we hold ourselves to on every tool we build:

1 Official sources first. Live feeds come from agencies like NOAA, the National Hurricane Center, the Storm Prediction Center and the National Weather Service — or, where no government source exists, established public networks like Windy and Blitzortung.

2 We say when something is a model, not an observation. Forecast graphics are labeled as such, separate from confirmed official data, so it's clear which is which.

3 We disclose the gaps. If a data source is unreliable, unverified, or simply doesn't exist for a region, we say so directly on the page rather than filling the space with something that looks more complete than it is.

4 Everything runs live in your browser. Our tools fetch data directly from the source in real time — there's no stale cache standing between you and what's actually happening right now.

Not a safety tool. Orbis Weather is built for situational awareness, not emergency decision-making. Always follow the specific watches, warnings and advisories issued for your area by your local official meteorological agency — that's the National Weather Service in the United States, and the relevant national agency elsewhere.
