Hi guys and girls, so my friends know that I am a weather buff and that's quite true. However, today's weather apps are mostly visual, but I have to give credit to WeatherGods on IOS because it's fully accessible with Voice Over. Anyhow my topic I wish to discuss today goes a little deeper than just simple temperature readings. Most sited people can look at a weather map or a satellite map or image and can see at a glance where the latest thunderstorms, fronts, high and low pressure systems are, and if you are a weather buff like me, you would know that it is important to track fronts, highs and lows, as they can have adverse effects on our weather.
So I came here today to ask if it would be even possible to take data from a map and make it accessible to blind people, would it also be possible to extract data from weather models such as ecmwf and global upper air data?
I know this is way way advanced stuff, but I mostly rely on someone sited to tell me certain things and it frustrates me, I know there are tactile maps available, but frankly I don't have the resources to get them.
So if anyone reading this has any feedback, please post your comments below.
Thanks and have a nice day all.
