Bloomsky's map can be viewed by anyone and gives a very quick view of the weather just by panning around it. As you move across the map you are shown nine camera images which change and update as you move. So you can see if it's sunny or cloudy within seconds in an area that has stations.

The map always defaults to the USA and Fahrenheit. You can click on one of the stations on the map (see below), then choose 'C' then it will update all the stations to show Centigrade (only for this session though).

Never mind Jachym.

As most of you know it's conventional to have your weather station outdoors, after all it's not going to get very windy or rain indoors, so take a look at one Bloomsky user who's going against the grain and has it set up indoors. Go to the map (link below) and type 'Tiverton' into the search box. The station name is AR Skynet 2, this camera is in Tiverton, Rhode Island, USA.

I wonder if there are many more unusual setups like this?

Haha.. Too funny. They must have just got it and is charging it up before placing it outside?

I hope they *do* know it's powered on and is broadcasting the picture.. I don't want to be scared with any images.. :o
