New weather site

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

Ive been developing a weather site based around PHP weather, the aim in the
long run is to have a fast updating database, that other webmasters can use
to access up to date weather reports quickly and easily.

Im still working on the code for the other web masters bit, but if you go to
http://www.sanddesign.co.uk/weather/ you’ll find a weather reports site for
the world.

Database info: the database is updated every 15 minutes by the
update_metars_db() function, every 15 minutes by a script that searches for
stations with no data (and marks them ND) and every hour by the get_metar()
function.  This last hourly check makes sure that metars are stored in the
metar database table and are ready to be cached by the update_metars_db()
function.

Ive been in email conversation with Martin, he suggested I make an output
plug in for PHP Weather 2, The site is based around v1.6, when I have some
time Ill have a look through the v2 code and (probably) make an output plug
in if its not too difficult!

What do you think about the site and the speed of the reports?
