One problem with trying to assess real time weather conditions is the spatial coverage of in-situ weather measurements. Amassing weather stations from public sources into one map (or layer) is a way to readily have an accurate view of conditions in the field. One important application is monitoring fire weather conditions in real time to keep track of the hot, dry and windy conditions that could lead to destructive and rapid fire growth. Monitoring the real time conditions in a dashboard, we can keep track of relative humidity, wind gust, and air temperature, measuring and mapping their daily extremes. In addition to keeping track of current extremes, we can also formulate warnings based on the prolonged duration of these conditions within ArcGIS, similar to how fire departments in California formulate red flag warnings. This is just one example of how real time weather can provide situational awareness to mitigate disaster risk and extent for safety and the environment.
