May but off topic, but I am interested to hear if any of you have
signed up to Google's 'adsense' on weather related websites, or any
others for that matter.

Just wondered if it was worth registering, and if so, whether it is
obtrusive or not.

Thanks

Always worth a try! I have adsense on my Canterbury Weather site (link
below) and it brings in about $35 a month. Pays for the hosting which is
nice.

It's not at all obtrusive to me, thanks to Firefox and Adblock Plus!

Obstrusive depends on where and what ads you place on your pages. I just
have in the header and footer, what you do have to watch is the content I
get a few "inappropiate" ones at times or ones of a very weak link. Maybe
that is down to the verbage on the page(s) or the lack of any meta
keywords.

I've yet to get to $35, after about 4 months. But I see you have a
"sneaky" section of ads at the top of the LH menu. I probably just
contributed to your monthly $35...

I've had Adsense on my weather website since July 2006 and it's
yielded a total of $17.68 in that time. Jonathan is doing really wll
at $35 per month, but I haven't really optimised my site for the ads,
so could probably do a lot better. If you blend them they can do quite
well for you.

That's a nice, well laid out site.
I like the way your tables are set out.

Just one thing though, I'd check your max wind gust
for October and December this year.
It's looks like Piers Corbyn's superstorms may have
struck in Canterbury at least
