Live Weather Display Using CSS, jQuery and PHP

I find this a bit ugly. But it's a nice idea !

However, I'm not sure you really want to have a rain on your website. I can hardly think of anything which would be more depressing for the user. ("HEY BRO, LOOK, IT RAINS ! NICE CITY, UH ?")

You've obviously never done client work.

The purpose of this article is to teach CSS and jQuery effects by example, not convince you that all websites should display the current weather.

The article is discussing a real-life example on one particular website, http://www.engageweb.co.uk/. You can see the effect right on that page. I think arcatek is critiquing the weather display of that website in particular.

The idea is cool. The final result looks a bit "pixeled" and the animation is not perfectly smooth (I'm on Safari, currently seeing clouds on the background). But I guess there is space for improvement ;)

Reminded me of a header on http://1976design.com/blog/ (Details there: http://1976design.com/blog/colophon/#the-pano)

Neat idea, but I don't get it. Does it always show you the London skyline, but with the weather of your location?

Unless some evil genius has captured some global landmarks that is no ordinary London skyline!

Cool idea, thanks for sharing.
