Raster maps
Xweather Raster Maps provides weather data as visual map tiles and static images, with customizable layers and built-in support for tools like Mapbox, Google Maps, and ArcGIS.
)
Drop a weather map anywhere
From static images to fully interactive maps, Raster Maps supports a range of implementations.
- Static maps
Drop a weather map anywhere with a single image URL. No SDK required.
- Map tiles
Layer weather data over your existing interactive map using standard 256×256 tile format.
- Animation
Bring weather to life with time-lapse sequences across past and forecast data.
)
Get versatile, customizable, easy-to-use layers
100+ weather and environmental layers as static tile overlays, compatible with Mapbox, Google Maps, Leaflet, and other basemap providers

Frequently asked questions
Map Builder can generate several outputs depending on your integration style. It can provide a single static map URL suitable for use in an HTML <img> tag, or a tile URL template that you can plug into interactive libraries such as Leaflet, Mapbox, HERE, ArcGIS, and Google Maps. It can also output a configuration for the Xweather JavaScript SDK to spin up an Interactive Map App, and a WeatherBlox Map View configuration ready to drop into a WeatherBlox layout.
On the raster side, Xweather Raster Maps integrates easily with common web mapping libraries and platforms using standard XYZ tile URLs, including Leaflet, Mapbox, Google Maps, Apple Maps, and OpenStreetMap‑based frameworks. There are documented examples of using Xweather tiles directly with Google Maps’ JavaScript SDK by defining a custom ImageMapType and pushing it as an overlay. On the vector side, the MapsGL JavaScript SDK can sit on top of MapLibre GL, Mapbox GL, Google Maps, and Leaflet, and there are dedicated MapsGL SDKs for Android (using Mapbox GL) and Apple platforms (using Mapbox Maps) so you can bring the same weather layers to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, and Android.
Xweather Maps supports a wide range of weather and environmental layers for real‑time and recent history, including radar, satellite, and other high‑definition products that can extend back up to 30 days to show how conditions have evolved. The Raster Maps and MapsGL documentation also expose specialized layer sets such as road weather risk, hail, and other risk‑focused visuals through configurable layers. Combined with the Xweather API, this allows you to overlay many of the same datasets you use for analytics—forecasts, observations, and risk indices—directly on the map.
Access to Maps and MapsGL is provided through an active Xweather API subscription.
