probably not what you might expect, but I find it interesting to watch, so you may also... a weather animation for January over North America:

I've been playing around with controlling Google Earth and Photoshop with Applescript, with some fun results so far...

Very cool. I loved it. Will be looking for more. I have taken small time lapse of weather but that was great! :thumbup: :)

Thanks! Just today I modified my screencapturing program to take shots over Europe and Australia also. The next batch of captures will be slightly higher resolution and the next video will be 720p (unlike the current funky "XGA" size on Youtube now).
More to come, for sure... Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Google Earth to "fill in" a certain wedge of weather data above the UK, as seen here:

The images in Google Earth update at varying rates, with the radar updating more often than the clouds. I just grab the pics when the clouds update, which is roughly once every hour or so.

That is great, Thanks. I am going to start looking at the weather on Google Earth.
