I guess one reason why I haven’t done heat maps before is because I don’t think they are as useful compared to other cartographic #dataviz techniques such as binning and choropleths. But maybe I’m missing something?

Anyway, for the heat map, I used the Leaflet.heat #LeafletJS plugin by Volodymyr Agafonkin, creator of Leaflet: github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.hea

The hexbin map uses the #H3 hex grid system with the #Viridis Inferno sequential palette.

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 8️⃣: #HumanitarianDataExchange (#HDX)

I have questions. 🙋

I was browsing the HDX data on #ClimateChange and found this wind speed hazard data from #ETHZürich Weather and Climate Risks group generated using their Climada tool. What’s interesting was they provided wind speeds in a ~4×4–km grid but as a CSV file! I had no idea what the data looked like and so I rendered it as a map with the speed colored using the #Viridis Mako palette (originally from seaborne).

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 4️⃣: Hexagons

Because the prompt says to use a hex grid, I couldn’t do what I did last year: en.osm.town/@seav/111380068524

So I took this opportunity to play around with Uber’s H3 grid system: h3geo.org/

Anyway, here are three maps showing the #Wikidata items with P625 (coordinates) where P17=Q928 (country = #Philippines 🇵🇭) aggregated (binned) into H3 hexagonal cells in three different resolutions (4 to 6) and colored with the #Viridis Inferno palette.
