If it knows where you live then every website you visit will also be able to track you.

Big brother is watching :)

The site developers must belong to the flat earth society :)

Shame you cannot get a globe style view that you could rotate.. That would be good.

Looks good to me and knows where I live too (within 10 miles or so ). I wonder if it's any more accurate than all the other weather forecasts but it certainly shows a lot.

(for a moment I thought you were going to recommend Gaviscon)

Its got rather breezy here in the Midlands.

Yesterday it showed the storm coming up on the west coast of Ireland up over the top and then over the north of Scotland

Now shows the centre of the storm off the west coast of Ireland and the gusts coming from the South to the North.

Time to batten down the hatches if your camping or at home.

It came over very dark for awhile down here in the south, a bit of a brisk breeze but now seems to be all over. My daughter lives in the Republic of Ireland though so she probably bore the brunt of it.

It came over very dark in West Sussex, the sun was very red due to the Saharan sand in the high atmosphere.

Thelast time I saw it so dark in mid-afternoon was during an eclipse.

In the beginning there was darkness.
Then I bought a tent.
I'm not destitute, I'm just poor.

Yeah my car is covered in sand. The sky was a very funny colour earlier in the day. It was light but a strange colour.

Is it red sky in the morning shepherds warning?

Certainly true for today. Strange how it can be sunny yet not very bright at the same time.
