This is a really neat mapping project I ran into on Facebook. It's a visualization of worldwide weather patterns using data from NOAA, NCEP, and USNWS updated automatically every three hours. Pretty cool, have a look:
Earth Wind Map
Hear are some similar projects for other regions of the world:
Wind Map (USA)
Tokyo Wind Map
Looking at these maps you can really see how air moves from areas of high pressure, to low pressure - swirling low pressure cells, fronts, and stable high pressure systems can all be spotted looking at the direction and intensity of wind flow.
