The internet has revolutionised the way how people communicate; sending emails, sharing photos, blogging, messaging, exchanging ideas, making new contacts and re-establishing old friendships, are just some of the uses the internet is put to every second. From this revolution has come the webcam, a device that allows people to see each other across the globe.

Webcams are not just for person-to-person communication though. There is a whole circus of webcams whose purpose is to share some interesting point-of-view. Provided by a diverse base of cultures and personalities, there are webcams broadcasting images of cityscapes, landscapes, seascapes, farm animals, artists at work, factory production lines, coffee shops, restuarants, street views, construction sites, radio telescopes, airports, beaches, public parks, forests, shipping, garden gnomes, car parks, rail junctions, volcanoes and, the weather, to name just a few! Added together, the webcam community is creating its very own world view. Be a part.

In principle, a weather web-camera is a webcam that points at the sky with the aim of displaying the local sky conditions to the world. It is fair to ask why should creating a service with a view of an ordinary looking sky in an ordinary looking landscape be of any value? Simply, the internet is the sum of its parts, which means that in this democratic universe, every point-of-view counts. Everybody is free to discover something new, every day.

By creating a weather web-camera means joining in with, and contributing to, a global webcam network operated by like minded people. And the web-camera will certainly reward the contributor with some very interesting and surprising images!
