It's good as a demonstration of your skills, but perhaps it should be a sub-page on your own site rather than having its own domain, since the functionality is kind of redundant. Add Celsius temperatures please. Farenheit is sooo 19th century :)

[SanFranciscoFilter] I don't know how much of an issue this is in other places, but Mrs Browl and I were discussing yesterday how useful it would be to have a San Francisco weather map that shows you weather in different parts of the city - it's not unusual for me to look out the window and find chilly fog (in the Sunset) then go to Potrero Hill and find it's a scorcher. Or the other way around.

If you could find multiple SF weather stations and make it into a widget or iPhone app or whatever, there would be a local but decent audience for it, because a single forecast for SF is basically meaningless.

[For SF] The Wundermap feature of weather underground does pretty much what you say here - http://tinyurl.com/6rxuxo (Zoom in a bit to get more stations/specific weather)

anigbrowl: It was a sub page to my personal blog domain for some time, but a .info domain is only $0.99 so I figured I'd get one. Also, it does have Celsius as an option; the link is above the forecasts.

0.99? That's useful to know! Sorry about missing the Celsius link.
