#2Awesome site. Is there any sort of API ? I'd love to build a surf predictor/alert for Stockholm, which is very dependent on wind.
I noticed a UX bug here: http://snpy.in/E34hR9

#7When I was working for electrical utilities and tracking climate data over a service territory a service like this with an API would have been invaluable. I would have thrown money hand over fist at them. Particularly if I could predict accurately micro-conditions within the next 12-24 hours.

#8You might want to use some color scales that are perceptually uniform. Right now you are using the bad kind of rainbow for many.
