Google maps added the feature to see the weather anywhere in the world. I thought it would be nice to see a real-time representation of the "blue marble" using this new data. I downloaded Google Data Arts Team WebGL Globe code and added a few functions.

It's using the new three.js PatchSphereGeometry and a bit of tweaking of its UV coords.

Weather forecast is very basic: it doesn't have all the possible weather conditions, and it doesn't take into account if it's day or night time. It's using a node.js script on the server to cache weather conditions.

Update: blacklisted again from the google weather API. I've switched to wunderground API, but, for the moment, weather forecasts are "sunny" all over the world.
