Just wanted to congratulate the Met Office on their new web interface (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk) (the regular one, not the aviation-related stuff) - very cool!

For those who haven't seen yet, as well as the usual 3-day weather-symbol forecast, you can now view forecast winds (very useful!) and temperatures. The "point-and-hover" interface has been replaced by a "point-and-click" interface, which is good because the old one was a little clumsy. And the graphics seem, well, just a little bit nicer somehow!

This also extends to the regional forecasts, and the wind/temperatures are included on the 5-day forecast, which is also broken down into day and night now.

Good work!

Oh yes - I like this. Nice work Met Office. The area maps are far, far better than the previous ones where you never work out is Essex was East Anglia or S.E England.

But I especially like the yellow sun over Essex on Saturday......I wonder if the runway will be clear by then?
