Very pretty. Would be cool if the Moon followed the real Moon phases (if the sky is clear enough to see it). For example April 2nd is full moon and the sky is clear so the Moon in your Sundial should be full too.

#22neat! and very visual, easier to see the weather by time, would love if such widget would be available for the mobile devices.

#23This is beautiful!
This would be great as widget or an app.
Add 24h time for us non americans ;)

#24I love this! Both creative and practical, in my opinion. Perhaps additional information (humidity, UV levels, etc.) could be optionally added as additional color-coded rings with numbers, like the temperature?

#25You nailed it with this! It is all dialed in (pun intended) and all elements display beautifully and in a natural way. Very well done!

#26Surprisingly cool. Didn't know what to expect.

#27I love the design. Tried putting in my postcode and it got stuck in a loop, but worked after a refresh :)

#28This is very nice and a good idea, but it is different from how I think about the weather.
I have a dashboard at home that is predictible: linear, it starts at 8 in the morning, gives the weather every 3 hours until 22, then again at 8 the next day, with two data points across the day. Hours that are gone dissapear, but their slit stays.
The rationale is that weather estimation is vague and I need a general trend across that day (I take the mean around these 3 hour slots). I fon't care about the night. I loosely care about the general status for tomorrow.
The fact that the general timeline is static means that one can develop memory muscle to know what happens when.
I am always looking for ways to improve the visual but did not find do far better than this linear (visually), non-linear (time) representation
