Matangi Weather Website Update
This is took a while as the site was a complete re-write, but now Matangi Weather has new fresh face using HTML5 and CSS3.
The website can now be located by going to http://matangiweather.org or http://wx-matangi.dyndns.org the latter will just re-direct you to the new URL. If you have bookmarked the old site update it to the new URL.
The site is written in PHP and Jquery for the Javascript stuff.
The main goal for this site was to de-clutter and streamline it and get rid of the repeat information, also to give it a new unique look.
Enjoy and let me know what you think.....

Re: Matangi Weather Website Update
just one thing I notice on the 24/48/72 hour graphs
some of the labels overlap (humidity/rain/solar)
you can move those labels in WD,enable the customisation then view that graph window in the graph history
move the labels then save the changes

Boy I had to save and edit a few times as tags kept on changing to actual values on the graph.....

Re: Matangi Weather Website Update
thats better
you can also change the graph title colour (from blue, hard to read)
via control panel, colour setup, graph colour setup, web graph title caption

Fixed and Centered
For Reference the Lightning Page is using data off Blitzortung Network (you need to have 4 stations setup to see the lightning) so when we have 4 Stations on the Bliztortung NZ Network it will show up.

Re: Matangi Weather Website Update
Thanks Brian, it took quite a bit to build. Mainly because I re-wrote the the whole thing.
I actually took stuff out of the new site from the old, due to some features not even being used at all.
I just hope people find of use.......

Re: Matangi Weather Website Update
The Isobaric Map should be clear whether it's an analysis or a prognosis. It's also lacking a validity time, and credit for the source.

Thanks Tunster, completely forgot the link backs, sorry about that. Added them and added the update times to the images.
