I didn't realize how hot eastern china was!
This isn't a map. This is a simulation. You made a simulation, and are outputting the results. This teaches you nothing whatsoever except that your model has pretty colors. Next thing someone is going to take these results, use them as input data for a new model, then send the results of that new model back as data for the first.
This isn't a map. What would a better map be? Is your point that they are doing interpolation on something that is already interpolated? Or are you implying that there is no way to create a map of temperature using only point measurements? I would like to know how well this data matches the raw station measurements (and verification measurements) but I think it's a decent visualization of likely real time temperature…
Yes.

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but to me this is a 2D visualization of a simulation. But it is not a map.
It's a cool project, but... >>It regenerates every hour, providing a constantly updating snapshot of air temperature around the globe. Once per hour is not "real-time." It's "once per hour."
This leaves me wondering, how does one go about designing such a system? Are you planning on doing a technical write up soon?

Celsius please. But besides that: Very nice, very clear and way better than supid sun and cloud icons with temperatures next to them over some vague areas.
Absolutely. Only about 320 million [1] out of 7 billion people still use fahrenheit. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit#Usage

It's less than the percentage of the world still using IE6!

Even if normalized for people that actually have Internet access? Honest question.
