The information provided by hydrometeorological stations can propose predictive solutions to adverse changes caused by weather in different regions. In this aspect, the publication of this type of information can help common users, farmers or populations at high risk of flooding or propose solutions to droughts. This work presents a hydrometeorological visualization system published in http://rrnn.tungurahua.gob.ec/red, including wind parameters, wind direction, precipitation, and temperature, in a graphic and documented way. The structure of the system presents the whole information required prior to the programming of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional interfaces, detailing all the tools used for the generation of graphics layers. Additionally, all the required files are presented to show the necessary graphic details, such as elevations, boundaries between cantons, roads, water bodies, and so on. Finally, a quick navigation of the bi-dimensional and three-dimensional interface is presented, where all options contained in the developed system are quickly displayed.
