What the AQI colors mean
0–50 Good — air quality is satisfactory
51–100 Moderate — acceptable, but some pollutants may be a concern for a few unusually sensitive people
101–150 Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups — general public not likely affected
151–200 Unhealthy — everyone may begin to feel effects
201–300 Very Unhealthy — health alert
301+ Hazardous — health warning of emergency conditions
Source: live model-based air quality data from Open-Meteo (built on Copernicus/CAMS atmospheric data), fetched directly by your browser — no iframe, no third-party cookies, works the same in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Figures are modeled for this location's grid cell (~11km resolution) rather than read from a physical sensor on the island, so treat them as a close estimate rather than an exact ground reading.
Licensing note: Open-Meteo's free tier is intended for non-commercial use. If this site carries advertising or other monetization, it's worth checking Open-Meteo's pricing page — their commercial plan starts at $29/month with no rate limit, or continuing on the free tier is a judgment call at low traffic volumes.

Naples & Marco Island — Live Lightning Map
Community-network lightning strikes in real time, from Blitzortung.org — refreshes continuously while open.
Strike age (how recent)
White — just now (0–20 min ago)
Yellow — 20–40 min ago
Orange — 40–60 min ago
Red — 60–80 min ago
Purple — 80–100 min ago
Dark purple — 100–120 min ago
Source: lightning positions come from Blitzortung.org, a free, volunteer-run detection network (also powers LightningMaps.org) — no API key or account involved. The map itself is interactive: pan, zoom, and scroll freely.
Important — this is not a safety tool. Blitzortung's own network explicitly says its data is for informational/entertainment purposes and should not be relied on to protect people or property. Strike detections can lag real time by a minute or more and coverage density varies by region. For actual lightning safety decisions, use official National Weather Service warnings — the standard guidance is "when thunder roars, go indoors," regardless of what any map shows.

Tropical Storm39–73 mph. Some flooding & downed branches possible.
Category 174–95 mph. Damage to roofing, siding & trees.
Category 296–110 mph. Major roof & siding damage likely.
Category 3 (Major)111–129 mph. Devastating damage to homes.
Category 4 (Major)130–156 mph. Catastrophic damage, long power/water outages.
Category 5 (Major)157+ mph. Total roof & wall failure widespread.
The map shows official NOAA/NHC forecast tracks and "cones of uncertainty" — the cone shows the likely path of the storm's center, not its full size or wind field. Areas well outside the cone can still see impacts.

Source: all figures and the chart above come directly from the NHC's Tropical Cyclone Climatology page — historical averages, not a prediction of what this particular season will do. Most Atlantic activity falls between mid-August and mid-October, with the single most likely day to find an active system somewhere in the basin being September 10th.

Current storms & official advisories
- NHC homepage — full list of active systems, advisories, and watches/warnings
- Full Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook (interactive, zoomable)
- Atlantic basin RSS feed — for auto-updating alerts elsewhere on your site
- NWS Tallahassee / NWS Miami — local forecast offices covering Southwest Florida
Source: these are the same live outlook graphics published on nhc.noaa.gov, embedded directly as images — no API key, no cookies, updates automatically whenever NHC issues a new outlook (roughly every 6 hours, more often during active storms). A small script appends a cache-busting parameter so your browser doesn't hold onto a stale image between visits.
Important: this shows the basin-wide outlook, not a Marco Island/Naples-specific forecast — a shaded area or storm on the map doesn't necessarily mean Southwest Florida is in its path. For anything with a real chance of affecting this area, always confirm against NHC's own advisories and your local National Weather Service office rather than relying on this page alone.
