Well.. I put in 'West Midlands' as the location and it centred on a railway line near Smethwick which I'm not sure about but otherwise.. very cool indeed. Love the graphics
Nice one Brian

Great find, Brian!
It started with North Sydney, but found our home town in a flash, zoomed in to our
house , and was able to see current and predicted data for days in advance.
Set it up to alert me by email for high winds, negative temperatures and snow.
I think this will be a regular check site for me.

You can even look at sea conditions.
This website is something else.

Great find, Brian. I've tried a couple of these weather sites over the years, but this looks to be the best one so far. Saved to favourites.

Works on my Windows phone too. What a Bobby Dazzler
I'm gonna impress the sh*t out of everyone at work tomorrow
EDIT: On second thoughts.. I don't think I will. It ground my mobile into the ground in very short order
