Live Weather Display Using CSS, jQuery and PHP

In 2006 I had an idea which involved displaying a live weather feed on a company’s website, using the Yahoo Weather API as the source. At the time however, the only way to do this effectively was by using Flash, and this was something the company was unwilling to do due to the development time involved.

Six years later, as the technical director of my own business, Engage Web, I revisited this idea for our newly rebranded company – and moved it on a couple of stages. In 2012, Flash was no longer necessary, as everything it could do in 2006 could now be done with CSS3 Keyframes.
