Nice idea. Can you tell us something more about technical details? How does it work, do you have to run a script every day? Does it use any API from weather forecast websites? Do you personally travel all around the world to check the weather ;-) ?

Those living in the pacific northwest will balance it out.
beautiful day in seattle right now. One of the rare perfect spring days here. Normally we just skip this season.
I'm typing this on a porch in Fremont right now. Can't say I have this opportunity

#43Nice, I usually check the emails I got during the night on my phone before I look out, so if I see a message saying it is a nice day, I'm sure I'll be fast to get up!

#44I thought it was up to each person to decide whether it would be a beautiful day or not, but maybe that's just me?
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder?

#45Perhaps I'm unusual but I think it would be more useful if it emailed early evening* before the beautiful day. By the time the beautiful day has come I'll be able to see it out the window. Either way I do love the idea. Nice one! * I'll expand on that to say that I'd ideally want it early enough that I'd be awake and could call a friend to plan something without worrying about waking them up. But for building excitem…
“But for building excitement I think it would be best to send it after it got dark (the timing of which you could determine from the date and location).” On a somewhat related note, I recently went hunting for phone apps to help me better sync up with times as determined by the sun, rather than numbers on a clock. I like the feeling of getting enough sleep and of being up before the Sun, and I'd like to be relatively…

#46Cool stuff! I've wanted to do something similar like this for a while that would email me what I should wear (I always pick the wrong jacket/sweater after simply checking temperature and not wind etc). Where are you getting your weather information from?
Just a small issue: My browser takes up most of my screen on 1920x1080 and the background image starts to repeat, making it look somewhat awkward.

#47Does it work with a UK postcode? Put one in and it seemed to accept it, but sometimes UK postcodes don't work with US sites. Maybe a little map showing where the site thinks you are will help increase confidence. Also, nice idea!
You'd never hear from Brian anyway ;)

#48This is too narrow a need. ifttt does that and more.
See previous comparison to ifttt in comments :)

Yup. You can set what parameters you consider beautiful.

You're most welcome. Let me know if you find one that improves on what I listed. I kinda got obsessed with this :)
