Key context

About the Washington, D.C. cams

Washington cams show the National Mall, the Potomac, Georgetown and the suburbs. They are useful on big days such as inaugurations, July 4th or snowstorms that shut the federal government.

We leave out cams near the Pentagon, Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Fort McNair and the Navy Yard.

What to watch for

Our rules for live cams

We only list public webcams from the Windy.com network, link every image to its live view on Windy, and never stretch the images. We do not list cams in active war zones or in countries that ban broadcasting strike sites and air defences (Ukraine and Israel), and we leave out cams near military bases.
