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

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.

Florida Hurricane Tracker

Live storm tracks & forecast cones from the National Hurricane Center (NOAA)

Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale

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.

Tap or click any storm icon on the map for its current wind speed, pressure, and movement. Use the +/− controls to zoom into your area of Florida.

For full text advisories and Florida-specific watches/warnings, visit the National Hurricane Center or your local National Weather Service office.

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.

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.
