Personally, I think you have wayyyyy too much on the one page, similar to BJ's comments I guess. Also, very heavy on the images, especially for a slow internet or mobile user.
And far easier to validate as you go along

Looks great, but yeah, as above and way too slow to load.
Interested in building your own Weather Station? Maybe check out the WeatherDuino Pro Project Here

Re: New layout using php and javascript to keep it updated!
Interestingly enough I first tried to look at this page when I was staying at a Travelodge over the weekend and their ISP blocked the site as not being suitable for children!!

Re: New layout using php and javascript to keep it updated!
Not wishing to 'rock the boat' but, I don't see what all the images bring to a weather website
Personally, when I visit a site I want to see clearly laid out and readily accessible data - facts and figures.

Re: New layout using php and javascript to keep it updated!
I don't really know why i put pictures behind i am thinking about changing them to something else as they are abit big and you cant fit much on a screen.
It was just an idea to see how it looked and for the autoupdate
