Yeah, so I see after restarting Firefox.

However, a few accessibility problems - if you have your font size
increased slightly, then the placename labels don't appear in the right
place (try increasing the font size on the UK map - you can get
Birmingham almost into East Anglia!).

Also, the weather map images are so highly compressed that you actually
lose detail and things like raindrops on the symbols are almost
indistinguishable from the sea behind.

Why does the date have to be superimposed on the image when there is
any amount of room on the page for that sort of thing?


So that when you use the animation feature you know the date/time you
are viewing without having to reload the whole page. All that changes
is the displayed image.

You might not have realised that there are animation buttons though,
the top 1/4 of the standard rewind forward stop play buttons is hacked
off in my browser.
