Okay. Or I can look out the window. By the morning of, it's already pretty clear whether it's going to be a nice day or not. What is the advantage of this service over a regular weather forecast that I don't have to give my email address to?
Do you live in California or something? Where I live, the weather is as shifty as the politicians, and the temperature dances around what's comfortable.

#22Perhaps 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 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). I think that would be the way to maximize utility and experience.

#23Great job. Can you add support for foreign cities with special characters? I tried "São Paulo, Brazil" and the encoding on the "success message" was wrong.

#24I had a somewhat 'similar' idea last year. Pick a place in the world and every morning (or once a week) receive a picture of the sunrise there. The time of day can be altered and the location within the city can be altered. Would be cool for people who miss home or who wonder what it'd be like to wake up elsewhere.
On a side note, not sure if this exists but what about a desktop picture app that changes your desktop daily based on your settings/preferences?

#26For people living in California, that's going to add up to a lot of email...
Edit: southern California :)

Those living in the pacific northwest will balance it out.

#28I like the idea of the Website, but the background image is too big. It's 1.2 MB. Which is about 1.1 MB's more than you should. It takes ages to load, partly because i'm currently in Europe.
