How it’s built
No backend. The browser pulls forecasts straight from Open-Meteo and builds the map itself.
A 3D scene sits inside a globe map, over real terrain. Each square is kept until the top of the hour, then fetched fresh.

A rainbow on the left stroke, white fading in on the right. Around it, a deep night and one cyan accent.
