[Made by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Staff]

This demovelopment takes the xml data from the 'Project Storm' system and will generate a 5 day forecast, split by continent, country and city.
This could be used to feed (with obvious changes in layout / interface / auto settings etc.) plasma or lcd screens anywhere in the world, providing local information.
As long as the Flash can see the data file either FTPed locally, or to a web server (can be password protected), this could update whenever the data file changes.

This is really just an example to show how the data could be extracted/displayed. A smaller version of this could easily work on the a mobile device like a PocketPC, however, some recipients of the data file may want to make it smaller to then make available for a PocketPC/XDA etc. Another potential use could be to parse the data file on the server (with PHP, Perl, etc) and then actually generate the graphics directly on the server to deliver. This could be Flash (swf), Jpegs, Gifs or Pngs.

Data for this project is supplied by the Met Office via ´óÏó´«Ã½ Weather.
