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.

Thank you guys for your input, i am with you on the images it kills my phone i may compress them they arnt full size but each one is around 600kb!
And all the stuff being on one page is temporary its going to go into tabs that switch the page without having to load another one

Also just had a look most of the images were 3000px wide and around 3mb they are now 720px and under 100kb!

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!!

Other than that it cant see why it would be!

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.

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
