Nice find - thanks for posting :)

The graphics look similar to the Meteo Earth app but your link opens really fast for me. As you say, the problem we are going to have is finding a decent 3g signal. Have just bought a payg sim card from Three as apparently they have a mast on one of the mountains in southern Mull which covers that area. There was a plan mooted by one of the political parties to force the network operators to share their masts in rural areas - this would be a real vote winner (imo).

Also like the surface pressure colour overlay.

Like the scale of w/s for the isobar spacing on the top left. Usually on synoptic charts you have to guess a bit ie close = windy, wide = calm !

(nice to see a bit of eye candy though as in the original link :))
