A community snapshot, not a scientific measure of everyone on Earth.

The story behind the signal

One feeling is personal.
Together, they become weather.

The Human Weather Project begins with a simple belief: Earth’s emotional state is expressed through the beings living here. A single response is one perspective. As participation grows, the pulse becomes a richer view of this community—never a verdict on humanity.

01 Begin with honesty

Feel, without performing

There is no good answer. Heavy feelings belong in the picture as much as hopeful ones.

02 See the pattern

Many signals, one weather map

The project combines responses into broad emotional currents while leaving individual people unseen.

03 Keep our humanity

Watch change, not worth

The pulse describes movement over time. It never scores a person’s goodness, character, or spiritual value.

The color language

Three colors. Three dimensions of being human.

This is a contemporary palette inspired by traditional Chinese five-color and Five Phases correspondences—not a claim that any feeling has one universal color.

赤

Chì · vermilion

Feeling

Fire · South · Summer

Warmth, vitality, and emotion made visible.

青

Qīng · blue-green

Belonging

Wood · East · Spring

Growth, renewal, and living connection.

黃

Huáng · yellow

Possibility

Earth · Center

Grounding, integration, and the center from which change can emerge.

Each sphere rises from black depth toward full color as its rating increases. Black carries its own traditional associations with water, north, and winter; here it suggests stillness and latent potential—not moral negativity.

Human stories

Every story stands on its own.

Share a brief moment from your life—not a comment attached to your ratings.

Optional story

Share your ratings first.

Once you complete today’s check-in, you can add a separate story card and choose whether to share it with the community.

Where this can go

From a pulse to a living emotional atlas.

This first experiment is intentionally simple. The long-term vision grows only with consent, care, and enough participation to make patterns meaningful.

01

A 3D emotional Earth

Explore broad, privacy-safe patterns of feeling, belonging, and possibility across regions and time.

02

Regional patterns, with care

Show local results only when enough signals exist to protect participants and make a pattern meaningful.

03

Optional story stickers

Add short, voluntary context to a signal without turning private lives into public profiles.

If you include an email, it will be stored with your message so the project can reply.

Method and privacy

Less collected. More context.

What is stored: the three ratings, submission time, a short visit-source channel label, and only the broad location you choose to share. Location is optional; no GPS permission is requested. Contact messages remain separate from pulse responses.

Visit source: a link may include a short channel label such as “invite.” It describes how a visit arrived, not who a visitor is. Channel counts are available only to the project team; they are not shown in public results or used to single out individuals.

Daily limit: this browser receives a random identifier. Only its one-way hash is stored, allowing the database to enforce one public signal per browser per UTC day without an account. Clearing cookies or changing browsers can bypass this limit, so it reduces repeats but does not prove one unique human.

Living atmosphere: the animated background and public pulse use aggregate ratings only. They do not reveal or respond to an individual visitor's answers. No account, name, fingerprint, or GPS location is required to check in.

Your control: while the browser identifier remains available, you can delete today’s signal from your result screen. Public charts show aggregates, sample sizes, and optional country coverage; they are exploratory community signals, not representative polling or a clinical measure.
