The weather circle is an attempt to illustrate the weather in a different way than the normal weather maps. The Processing sketch loads current weather XML data in Brooklyn from a weather feed and creates circles depending on the temperature and wind speed in this area. Each circle is a circle diagram illustrating the temperature from -20 to 40 degrees celcius, and the rotation of the circles is controlled by the wind speed: the faster wind speed the faster the circles will rotate.
Each circle will slowly rotate a bit more than the others, allowing beautiful patterns to be displayed as the visualization plays. The design and color scheme is inspired by the early diagrams made by Graphis.
