There was a sneak peak of this a few weeks ago, but the update to this is truly amazing.
This has the 'super wow' factor.

Now with the Mapperz most requested overlay - temperature - users can use the slider on the legend to adjust the opacity (transparency) of the overlay.
Wind speed and directions now available - clear icons with more information on hovering over the icons.

Seems to be the old version on that link?
Or have you got a sneak peak ?
Good to know, thank you for sharing such a usefull tips!!
Anyone have any info on how theyve set this up and whats going on behind the scenes?
Like where the data is being pulled in from (DBMS, GeoRSS, GeoServer,ArcSDE, etc) and also if they have relied on other technologies other than just the Google Maps API.
Very impressive.
