StreamerRTSM
What Is StreamerRT?
StreamerRT is the most comprehensive and user-friendly tool available to visualize live and forecast weather conditions at local, regional, national and international levels for critical decision-making. Users can configure multiple views from nearly 100 layers of real-time weather information and severe alerts. These constantly updating layers are fueled by live data from a global network of more than 8,000 state-of-the-art Earth Networks weather stations, the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network™ and Camera Network, and public weather source information, including from the U.S. National Weather Service and its National Hurricane Center.
New! StreamerRT users can now receive custom notifications for any location sent to their desktop and mobile emails.

What Sets StreamerRT Apart?
The backbone of StreamerRT is the Earth Networks weather network of more than 8,000 weather stations worldwide, each recording more than 25 weather variables and updating every few seconds. This live, hyper-local weather information is exclusive to Earth Networks, enabling an unmatched view of current conditions at and around locations that matter to you and your operations or business. In addition, StreamerRT displays live lightning information from the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network™, the largest global lightning network and first to detect both cloud-to-ground and in-cloud lightning, the latter being an important precursor of severe weather such as damaging winds and tornadoes.
