Seeing our world through data
See how recent temperature and rainfall compare with the long-term normal in 50 cities across Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia, using open satellite-era climate data. It's one of several free dashboards we've built to turn Earth and space data into insight that communities and organisations can act on.
"I started AstroNoir because the science of our planet and universe should belong to everyone, especially the communities who have been left out for far too long."
