If you are one of the many people who have troubles interpreting weather reports correctly you might need a visualization of the current weather conditions. Tom Scott thought so as well and decided to add visualization to weather reports by linking the weather conditions to a planet in the Star Wars universe.
But this website can help even if you are one of the two people on earth who never watched a Star Wars movie before as it will display an image of the weather conditions as well.
The script that is running on Tom’s website performs an automatic IP lookup of every connecting user, queries the Yahoo weather api to pull the weather conditions of the location and display an image of that weather condition alongside a few lines that point out the Star Wars planet with those weather conditions.
Now everyone who knows Star Wars would probably be able to tell the same thing by looking out of the window and thinking about a planet in the Star Wars universe that would match the weather conditions. But an automated way is more comfortable and the bylines are excellent. Now I just have to find a Tauntaun to to climb inside.
