DEBRIS.COMgood for a laugh, or possibly an aneurysm

This is one of the coolest uses of the web I’ve seen in a long time: a visual plot of weather data for San Francisco. Data comes from an informal network of weather stations around the city, plus published weather data.

When I lived in the City, people always talked about “microclimates.” That’s a fancy word that describes how the unusual geography of the area causes weather to differ dramatically from one neighborhood to the next. As I write this, there is a 25-degree disparity between the Zoo and the “Sunset Station,” located ~2 miles away.

Kudos to Aaron and sfweather.org for building such a useful web application!
