Inspired by the weather post this morning, I built a free little website for BRC weather that saves to your phone as an app and works fully offline with the last forecasts from whenever it had signal.

What's in it:

• Dust-storm risk for every build week + burn week day, plus exact moments of the man burn and temple burn
• A live map of the city with the actual wind blowing dust across it (scrub hour by hour through burn week)
• Live readings from the RAWS weather stations ringing the playa, any national NWS alerts, and a BMIR 94.5 stream for when they're on air
• Burn-week days beyond forecast range show 10-year historical typicals, clearly labeled

Data is NWS + Open-Meteo (GFS/HRRR/ECMWF). Free with no ads, no accounts and nothing tracked beyond anonymous page counts. Source code

Obligatory disclaimer: for live emergency weather on-playa, use a real FM radio on 94.5 (BMIR). Without signal this won't update and everything is a prediction.

Feedback (& PRs) welcome. 🔥
