Support Pyre Weather
Pyre Weather has been a labor of love since I started it in May of 2026. I enjoy creating handsome weather visualizations and finding intuitive ways to explore atmospheric data.
As the site grows, however, the bills grow too. I plan to continue adding new features and products based on feedback from users like you. Any help you can provide in the form of monetary support would be GREATLY appreciated.
A one-time contribution of ANY amount, $5 or more, gets you the Cumulus (Supporter) level plan for a full year. Or you can choose one of the subscription options below, starting at $4.99/month. If you're in a position to contribute more, the Cirrus (Pro) level is $9.99/month. Whatever fits your budget will help keep the site growing.
If the tools help you in your job, research, or social media, linking back to the site goes a long, long way in spreading the joy.
And if you want to continue using Pyre Weather for free, you can do nearly everything with a free account. Contact me if you need more access and $5 for a year isn't in your budget (no judgment, I've been there too).
