Weather Connect is delighted to offer a very exciting addition to the site today.
Thanks to Yowindow we now can provide you Live, accurate weather data from cities across the United Kingdom. Yowindow makes it so much better than just Live data. It displays an animated image that relates to the actual conditions that are being reported. So if a Thunderstorm is being reported in Birmingham, the image will display a Thunderstorm! If its windy, the plants will sway in the wind! If its Autumn, the leaves are brown! If its a half moon, the moon is a half moon! Everything you want is available on 2 new pages, seperated into the North and South of the UK so there is less strain on your computer!
Below is a LIVE example of just how superb this new feature is!
We hope this is most useful to you because we rate this very highly amongst the other items we have on the site!

I will add Stornoway or something closer to you. I want to try and keep locations down otherwise it will affect Computer performance.

This evening i plan to make this even better but some feedback first. -Im thinking of creating just one main page about the Live Weather then on that page have various links to other Live Weather pages for separate parts of the country thus there are more locations available and more specific to that part of the country. E.g There could be Western Scotland and Northern Ireland for one page, Eastern Scotland and North East England on another page and so on.
I dont want to many pages or would you rather it stay as it is so you can see contrasts better across the UK?

That sounds a far better idea, unless it means more page names in the top bar!! Would make navigation easier for people

No there would not be more pages on the Navbar. There would be one main page then links from that page.

Yes the downloaded version is better. Not available for site widgets but that nonetheless is superb. Looking at the forum, eventually weather alerts may be displayed.
Plenty which may happen including different landscapes.

The Live Weather pages have been re arranged etc now. The North West England and Wales page has been pretty much completed. The rest will be completed over the next week.

I regret to announce that i have decided to end Weather Connect. It is a thing that demands quite alot of time to do sometimes and its something i will not have time to deal with come the new school year anyway.
Weather often has limited interest compared to other areas and i do not have the money to keep things going.
It has been good doing this for the time that i have being doing this …
Its time to get your Weather pictures in again! Spring may not have been as exciting as the Winter just gone but there have been cloudscapes, nature pictures, wildlife chances etc across the country.
Please post any pictures here that have been taken during March, April or May 2010. Closing date for images is on the 30th June 2010.
The video should be ready in the first week of July.
