WebGL Wind
A mesmerizing wind particle visualization on a world map, powered by WebGL. Watch millions of particles flow with real wind data.
About WebGL Wind
Millions of tiny particles drift, spiral, and surge across a live world map — each one tracing the invisible shape of wind as it actually moves across the planet. Powered by real atmospheric data and rendered through WebGL, the simulation shows global airflow patterns in a way that makes weather feel tangible: jet streams carving across continents, cyclones spinning off coastlines, dead-calm zones sitting eerily still.
This is a pure interactive visualization — no score, no objectives, just the hypnotic pleasure of watching a living system do its thing. If you enjoy poking at simulated physics, Fluid Simulation offers a hands-on companion where your mouse directly disturbs the flow.
WebGL Wind runs best on a desktop or laptop with a dedicated GPU; the particle count can stress mobile hardware, so expect smoother results on a larger screen.
How to use
This is a real-time wind visualization tool that displays animated wind patterns using flowing particles on a map. • The visualization runs automatically when loaded - no action needed to start • Watch colorful particles flow across the screen to show wind direction and speed • Particle density, speed, and color indicate wind intensity in different areas • Use the control panel (if visible) to adjust visualization settings: - Particle count and size - Animation speed - Color schemes - Fade rate of particle trails • Drag to pan around the map if interaction is enabled • Zoom in/out using mouse wheel or pinch gestures on mobile • Different colors represent varying wind speeds - typically blue for calm, green to yellow for moderate, red for strong winds • Particles automatically regenerate and flow continuously based on real wind data • The visualization updates in real-time at up to 60 frames per second for smooth animation
