A method of presenting weather data on a graphical user interface, GUI, the method comprising: assigning a corresponding intensity rank to each of a plurality of weather events, wherein the plurality of weather events is based on the weather data and wherein at least one of the plurality of weather events is present in at least one of a plurality of altitude zones defined for a physical area centered on a reference point ; dividing each of the plurality of altitude zones into a corresponding grid defined for the physical area, each corresponding grid comprising corresponding sectors defined by corresponding lines and vertices ; assigning, to each of the corresponding sectors in the plurality of altitude zones, a corresponding highest intensity ranking weather event of the plurality of weather events extant in the corresponding sectors ; receiving a selection of a selected altitude zone from among the plurality of altitude zones ; generating a rendered image by rendering the corresponding grid for the selected altitude zone , wherein rendering further comprises: rendering the corresponding lines and vertices for the selected altitude zone ; and rendering the corresponding sectors for the selected altitude zone, including highlighting each of the corresponding sectors according to the corresponding highest intensity ranking weather event extant in each of the corresponding sectors in the selected altitude zone ; and displaying the rendered image on the GUI . assigning a corresponding intensity rank to each of a plurality of weather events, wherein the plurality of weather events is based on the weather data and wherein at least one of the plurality of weather events is present in at least one of a plurality of altitude zones defined for a physical area centered on a reference point ; dividing each of the plurality of altitude zones into a corresponding grid defined for the physical area, each corresponding grid comprising corresponding sectors defined by corresponding lines and vertices ; assigning, to each of the corresponding sectors in the plurality of altitude zones, a corresponding highest intensity ranking weather event of the plurality of weather events extant in the corresponding sectors ; receiving a selection of a selected altitude zone from among the plurality of altitude zones ; generating a rendered image by rendering the corresponding grid for the selected altitude zone , wherein rendering further comprises: rendering the corresponding lines and vertices for the selected altitude zone ; and rendering the corresponding sectors for the selected altitude zone, including highlighting each of the corresponding sectors according to the corresponding highest intensity ranking weather event extant in each of the corresponding sectors in the selected altitude zone ; and rendering the corresponding lines and vertices for the selected altitude zone ; and rendering the corresponding sectors for the selected altitude zone, including highlighting each of the corresponding sectors according to the corresponding highest intensity ranking weather event extant in each of the corresponding sectors in the selected altitude zone ; and displaying the rendered image on the GUI . <EOS>
