If you want to use javascript, you might be interested in this project of mine: github.com/wrybread/Weather-Underground-Style-Real-Time-Gauge Personally I think javascript is a good method for current wind conditions, since it makes it easy to update a graphic continually. This live demo should update every 2 seconds or so (every time the wind indicator turns green is an update): sinkingsensation.com/wu_gauge/ I should really update that though, since it's very small on my screen. A CSS issue. Or here (css optimized for mobile): sinkingsensation.com/wind Note that this requires enabling the RTC ("real time gauge") extension in weewx. And fyi the effect is achieved by rotating the circle to the current wind direction. > A crude version, without making the wind directional pointer proportional > to wind speed, can be done with svg graphics and no outside help.
