\nThe Wind Rose<\/h2>\nThe wind rose is a circular diagram showing which directions the wind has been blowing from over the last 30 days. The longer a bar extends outward in a given direction, the more often the wind has come from that direction.<\/p>\n Colors show wind speed: pale blue<\/strong> is calm (0\u20135 mph), steel blue<\/strong> is a light breeze (5\u201315 mph), amber<\/strong> is moderate (15\u201325 mph), and coral<\/strong> is strong (25+ mph).<\/p>\nFor Lake Michigan sunsets, easterly winds (E, NE) tend to bring cleaner, drier air from inland \u2014 which often means more vivid color. Westerly winds off the lake carry moisture that can produce a milky haze on the horizon.<\/p>\n
\nThe Pressure Trend<\/h2>\nThe pressure trend widget shows whether atmospheric pressure is rising or falling, based on the last 6 hours of readings from the weather station. This is one of the most reliable indicators of coming weather:<\/p>\n \n\n\n| Trend<\/th>\n | What it often means<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\nRapidly Rising<\/strong><\/td>\n| Air mass is clearing quickly. Often signals excellent viewing ahead.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nRising<\/strong><\/td>\n| Conditions are improving.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nSteady<\/strong><\/td>\n| No significant change expected soon.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nFalling<\/strong><\/td>\n| Weather may be moving in.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nRapidly Falling<\/strong><\/td>\nSignificant weather approaching. Strong winds or storms possible.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nThe 24-Hour Chart<\/h2>\nThe weather chart shows temperature and wind data over the past 24 hours. The coral line and shading shows temperature (left axis); the teal bars show wind gusts and the teal line shows average wind speed (right axis). Hover over any point to see exact values.<\/p>\n
\nTimelapse Videos<\/h2>\nEvery 20 minutes, ScooterCam assembles a rolling timelapse covering the previous 4 hours of footage. Sunset timelapses are also archived after each evening for later viewing.<\/p>\n Videos are recorded in two formats: a standard version for most browsers and devices, and an H.264 version specifically optimized for iPhones and iPads.<\/p>\n
\nMoon & Sun Information<\/h2>\nThe site shows today’s sunrise and sunset times, the current moon phase, moonrise and moonset times, and a sky arc diagram showing where the sun or moon is in its path across the sky right now.<\/p>\n On mornings when a nearly-full moon is setting over the lake between 5 and 9 AM, the site flags it as a notable moonset event worth waking up for \u2014 a rare and beautiful sight.<\/p>\n
