Web map of Live Weather Data in USA and Canada
Web map of Live Weather Data in USA and Canada. This map pulls out several web map services from the web and overlays them, a term also known as "creating mashup". You can click on the double arrow on the left corner to view the legend. The attributes of the weather stations within Canada can be viewed by clicking on the weather station location. For USA, zoom in further to your desired area (click + buttton on top left corner above home icon) until you see the weather stations icon and simply click on that weather station.

Indian GeoPortal Bhuvan
Free GIS data, free access to high resolution satellite imagery, interactive web map viewer, access to land services, weather services layers, 2D and 3D views and so many stuffs on Indian GeoPortal Bhuvan. The web map viewer, though still in beta version, is interactive and user friendly. It's compatible with most browsers. I like Bhuvan!

Earthquake mapping in real time on OregonLive
There are plenty of earthquake mapping websites such as Seismic Monitor, the U.S. Geologic Survey, and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network etcetera to name a few.

The Oregonian/OregonLive web map is updated every 15 minutes and makes it easier to track earthquakes in oceans.
