Weather wind layer
Experience viewing the weather wind layer from the MapTiler Weather Wind dataset and get the wind speed at the specific location indicated by the cursor. View the wind animation up to 60 frames per second.
To display data for the next four days in an animated format, you can use the layer’s animateByFactor function.
