2737 The world's most interactive weather map from wunderground.com has just gone full screen, as Weather Underground announced today the launch of fullscreenweather.com. The ultimate weather tracking tool, fullscreenweather.com enables anyone in the world to quickly zoom in on the Google Maps interface to view the most granular data available from Weather Underground's unmatched network of over 16,000 personal weather stations before zooming out and scrolling across the world to view the weather conditions affecting friends and family.

Launched in an effort to make weather tracking easier and more interactive, fullscreenweather.com also allows users to select and view a high-resolution precipitation layer (radar) or cloud layer (satellite) plotted on the map—both of which can be animated. Additionally, severe weather alerts that have been issued for the locations in view on the map are displayed in the bottom corner of the screen and can be clicked upon to view the full alert weather statement.

"At Weather Underground we continually embrace the latest technology trends and adapt to meet our users' changing needs," said Weather Underground President, Alan Steremberg. "Our Full Screen Weather map provides a simple yet engaging way for people to view weather information across a multitude of devices."

Perfectly suited for viewing on any PC or laptop, this engaging new product was developed with touch screen technology firmly in mind. Apple iPad users will be able to use the scrolling and zoom functions and touch any specific weather station to view details.
