Tring Weather

Our obsession with the weather runs so deep that almost 70 per cent of British people check the weather forecast at least once a day.* Reflecting this fixation, many websites now carry a page of weather information, but the presentation is mostly bland and static. One program that breaks this mould appears below and is the most attractive I've come across. It's largely self-explanatory and has more to offer than is first apparent. Do play with it for a while to discover some of its hidden wizardry and then read this page to check that you've not missed any major features. And if you're interested in detailed statistics of Tring's weather, click here. As with all such programs there's no guarantee of accuracy, but we can forgive that to a certain extent through the fun it provides. Enjoy!
