Agreed, the wap version is very good.
I have spent many a not windy day standing on a cold beach in wetsuit
glaring at it and wondering where the wind is.
Out of interest does anyone know where the airport weather feed can be
found?
Cheers,
James

Two top sites, them.
I find the Wap version of XCWeather.com is nice and clean.

Hello Jason,
Very nice, I have been trying to find the time to do some web based
stuff
around weather data.
I'm a fairly keen windsurfer and there are quite a few quality sites
that
give weather predictions that might be a good place to "borrow" ideas
from.
http://www.windguru.cz/ - provide excellent predictions of wind
movements
using a number of different weather models. http://www.xcweather.co.uk -
provide the latest weather information for the
UK. The information is based on the feeds from the airports (for example
the
reading in Bristol is Filton Private Airport). The buoys out at see are
from
another source.
Perhaps you could merge those two feeds in as well?
Any chance of getting Bristol in there as well?
Cheers,
James
ps - how come the demo has google ad's on it? Does that increase the
licencing issues (i.e. your making money from other peoples data they
gave
you for non commercial purposes?).

A website I've made in a personal capacity (nothing to do with the
BBC).
It takes the weather data from various websites (currently only
weather.com and the BBC, for London & New York - more coming) and
makes a prediction based on their combined forecasts. Some parts are
dodgy at the moment, and there may be licencing issues, but feedback
appreciated!
Cheers,
Jason
