The U.S. is experiencing a record-breaking heat wave, and you can use the Current Weather and Wind Station Data<\/a> layer in Living Atlas of the World to monitor conditions using data from NOAA.<\/p>\n

This layer is one of my favorites in Living Atlas because it provides 10-12 variables for each airport weather station across the world and updates every hour. But with so many options, the map can become confusing pretty quickly. So let\u2019s set some goals.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Display heat index (the “feels like” temperature)<\/li>\n
  2. Include wind information<\/li>\n
  3. Provide ancillary information such as dew point<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here’s the map we’re going to build. I should note that it also uses the new hosted feature service version of our Live Feeds weather and disaster layers<\/a>. Make sure you update any older maps with this new source before your older maps melt too.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":569862,"id":569862,"title":"HeatIndex","filename":"HeatIndex.png","filesize":180309,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/mapping\/build-a-heat-index-map-in-5-minutes\/heatindex","alt":"map of current heat indexes","author":"7841","description":"","caption":"","name":"heatindex","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":569732,"date":"2019-07-19 18:24:26","modified":"2019-07-19 18:24:38","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":524,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":243,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":402,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex.png","large-width":1000,"large-height":524,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex.png","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":524,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex.png","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":524,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex-826x433.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":433,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/07\/HeatIndex.png","wide_image-width":1000,"wide_image-height":524}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/arcgis.com\/apps\/Minimalist\/index.html?appid=78c78e2a7c9e4c7880ccbb192023f132"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
