Abstract:
1. A method for presenting weather information, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of weather conditions present for a geographic region from weather data for the geographic region; selecting a first geometry comprising a first spatial extension, wherein the first geometry is for a first weather condition within the plurality of weather conditions, wherein the first geometry is based on a first type of the first weather condition, and wherein the first geometry has a first level of transparency within the first spatial extension; selecting a first color for the first geometry based on a severity of the first weather condition, wherein the color selected is for a first border of the first geometry; selecting a second geometry comprising a second spatial extension, wherein the second geometry is for a second weather condition within the plurality of weather conditions, wherein the second geometry is based on a second type of the second weather condition, wherein the second geometry has a second level of transparency within the second spatial extension, and wherein the first spatial extension and the second spatial extension overlap at least in part; and displaying the first geometry and the second geometry on a map of the geographic region.
