A source behind every story.

Country disease measurements

WHO FluNet and fluID supply completed weekly influenza, RSV, rhinovirus, influenza-like illness and acute respiratory infection measurements. WHO COVID-19 surveillance supplies weekly reported cases. These are separate units and reporting systems, not counts of every infected resident or everyone with a common cold. The panel downloads a bounded 16-week reporting window and preserves missing values, retrospective corrections and source-stream labels.

GeoNames provides the ISO country-code reference used to join WHO reporting areas to the existing Natural Earth map. A country-level measurement does not establish conditions in a particular city.

Annual world indicators

32 indicators cover economic growth, debt, prices, employment, population, births and deaths, energy and living conditions. Annual measurements retain their actual reporting years. Completed-year source series can include estimates and revisions. World aggregates come from the publisher; country figures are not summed to invent totals.

Annual birth/death quantities are rounded estimates derived from same-year crude rates and population. They are not registrations or real-time counters. The 2024 world debt reference excludes financial-sector debt, while country government debt is a different measure. Poverty uses the World Bank’s $3/day line at 2021 PPP. Missing observations, world aggregates and old reporting years remain explicit.

Weather, climate and air-quality models

The weather map is coarse interpolated model context. Local forecast uses Open-Meteo models for the selected point: current estimates, hourly temperature and precipitation probabilities, and seven daily outlooks. CAMS air-quality estimates are delivered through Open-Meteo with pollutant units and source time. Model output can differ from local measurements and is not a guarantee of future conditions.

CAMS / Open-Meteo air quality

The ENSO view combines NOAA PSL’s monthly Niño 3.4 index (with its stated baseline) and an ocean-only NOAA OISST v2.1 daily anomaly field sampled at 1°. The final daily analysis can lag current conditions; its own date and 1971–2000 baseline are shown separately. EarthCurrent does not provide earthquake or conflict predictions.

Publisher reporting and images

The News tab reads public RSS feeds from BBC News, The Guardian and Al Jazeera. Cards link to the publisher and show its supplied headline, short summary, date and thumbnail where available. These articles are not automatically geocoded. Event details may include an original source image and clearly labelled topic or location keyword matches, which can describe different events.

Where the gaps remain

ACLED requires account access and ReliefWeb requires an approved API app name. Those connections are not active. Development uses the public sources available now; production permissions will be handled before a public release.

Geography with perspective

The self-hosted map uses Natural Earth geometry. Dashed boundaries identify disputed areas. Country summaries use labeled representative points. Reports without reliable geography stay in the feed without a fabricated coordinate.

A check is not a new observation

A source can be reachable while its latest assessment is weeks old. We show source publication, reporting period, first import, revisions and last successful check separately. Failed refreshes retain their last successful data with a visible source status.
