One screen
Scattered weather data,
gathered in one grid
On the Meteorological Agency site, satellite, radar, typhoon, yellow dust, temperature and local forecasts each live in separate menus. Weather Satellite Live gathers them into a single grid menu, and any channel you tap starts auto-playing from the latest image as a time-lapse.
- 12 channels — satellite, radar, typhoon, yellow dust and CCTV on one screen
- Auto-play from the latest frame, with pause and zoom at the bottom
- Every frame shows its observation time (KST)
Satellite
Visible, infrared, water vapor:
three ways to see the sky
Imagery from the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A satellite comes in nine channel × region combinations. Pick a tight view of cloud development near the peninsula, a wider East Asia flow, or pull all the way out to near-equator scale.
- Visible shows cloud shape and thickness by day; infrared shows clouds even at night
- Water vapor shows upper-level moisture flow — read heavy rain and typhoon buildup ahead of time
- Korea · East Asia · Earth, with pinch zoom and drag pan to focus on one area
Radar
Where the rain is,
right now
Composite precipitation radar from the Meteorological Agency, replayed in time order. Rainfall intensity is color-coded, so heavy-rain zones across the peninsula are visible at a glance.

- 9 local radar sites from Baengnyeongdo to Jeju for rain close to home
- Satellite IR blended with radar shows clouds and rainfall together
Typhoon · Yellow dust
Read the track
before it arrives
When a typhoon is active, the app plays a satellite infrared time-lapse so you can follow where it formed, where it's heading, and how fast it's closing in. In dust season, the same time-lapse shows incoming yellow-dust paths.
- Satellite imagery shows the storm's eye and outer cloud bands as they look
- Observation timestamps let you gauge how far it has traveled
- Yellow-dust imagery shows incoming fine-dust paths
Road CCTV
After the sky, the road
"I know it's raining, but what does the road actually look like?" That's why nationwide road CCTV is built into the same app. Satellite, then radar, then CCTV — the pre-departure decision ends in one app.
- CCTV markers over precipitation radar — tap a camera in the rainy zone
- Several nearby cameras as small videos at once on one map
- Tap a marker for a single live feed; Jeju roads have their own channel
Versus other weather apps
What makes it different
Versus the official agency app
Same source, shorter path
Satellite, radar, typhoon, CCTV and forecasts live in one grid menu, and every screen auto-plays from the latest frame.
Versus generic weather apps
Imagery, not just numbers
Instead of temperature and rain probability, you watch where clouds and rain bands actually are and where they are going.
Versus radar-only apps
One level above radar
Satellite visible, infrared and water-vapor channels sit next to radar, so you can read where weather forms and where it heads.
