Data sources
emoji-weather uses data from OpenWeather.
The map design is hand-crafted by me. It can be called a tile map, grid(ded) map, or cartogram. I like tile maps, you can see other examples I've made here, here, here, or here (the latter three I've contributed to the {geofacet} package for R).
