Why are the countries made of hair?
Too hard to work out what’s cold and what’s moderate temps with the amounts of blue in there.
Also what’s blowing them, is the direction relevant? Is the height of the things relevant?
This looks very cool. Is the height of the strands pressure?
this is so cool but would love some extra info/ context
Nice animation, horrible presentation,
Op posted this detail on another sub for this visual
This is a visualization of ERA5 output over Europe for June 2026.
What’s visualized are the wind patterns at 500hpa pressure levels along with the 2 meter air temperature. You can see around June 18th the start of some anticyclonic behavior in southern France, on June 23rd a prominent anticuclone forms over western France and then you can see it migrate East over the next 7 days.
This method uses the new hair dynamics node brought into 5.2

My European friend always continues to bitch about the heat during. He has a newer house that was built to allow a future AC installation. He makes a shit ton of money too.
Never does he buy a damn AC unit though. It’s the same cycle every year. May-September bitches, October-April brags about “saving money” on his electric bill.
European people are built different with weather.
Does the length of the shag carpet or wave mean anything?
The change between blue and orange is way too sudden. Makes one think that blue is cold when in fact it’s already in the 20c range.
More like European Bird Wave
It feels so trippy staring at it
This was really mesmerizing to watch after a while, the sort of „pulsating“ heat throughout the day.
Also interesting to see how it stayed warmer throughout the night as the heatwave dragged on, that’s always the worst part of a hot day, when it doesn’t cool down enough at night to even get a good night’s sleep. Really feels like getting kicked while you’re down.
Nice work OP, very cool!
Wheat. Wheat. Fields of wheat.
This redefines „nap of the Earth“ for me. Very mesmerizing
What does the fur mean? Direction of wind? Strength of wind?
Sun is just an exploding star
File under “unnecessary motion sickness”
This is so nonsensical and unnecessary
That might be beautiful, but it’s not accurate.
I wasn’t expecting Sully from Monster’s Inc to be involved. I’m assuming the hair is responding to the wind direction on that date. I’m not sure that helps what you are trying to convey. The temperature is conveyed successfully with the color.
Everything about this is beautiful except for the colour scale. Please please do a warmer coloured version 🫠
25 is closer in colour to -6 than 30+ degrees, strange choice.
The hairs are weird but it helped me visualize how the heatwave moves through the continent in circular motion
why are the temperature columns waving like hair ?
this is useless.
Seems wasted on June. The actual heatwaves have taken place in July.
The temperature should be represented as temperature anomaly so it will remove the obvious 24 hours cycle that makes the heatwave more difficult to track.
Watching this from Arizona currently at 48c and I hate it as much as you guys
He thought he could pass of this behind the scenes clip from Monsters Inc as a data visualization
I never knew how much I could appreciate a hairy map
I’ve never wanted to pet Europe before
It’s not too often I see an entirely new type of visualization. I think this is really cool. You really get the feel for the interaction of atmospheric winds and temperature. Swweeet!
It’s really neat, good job!
It’s been an eternity since a post actually qualifies for the sub…
Gorgeous!
I need to have a Europe rug
I’ve never wanted to pet Europe before, but here we are.
This is a really cool visualization, to me it’s very clear the direction of the hairs show which direction the wind is blowing or even where things like the alps are. It contains a lot of different types of complementary info in at once.
Little odd that a itty bit of North Africa is included (since it looks like you cut Turkiye off at the Euro boundary and skipped Russia) but no biggie.
My only recommendation is have a bigger green component to the scaling (covering the comfortable temps). Feels like 22° and -6° aren’t that much different looking.
