The Weddar Store is open!
After months and months of love and hard handcraft work… The Real Weddar Clouds are here.
Aren’t they great? Following our heart, we’ve partnered with small independent handcraft studios in Portugal to make these felt and ceramic beauties, instead of having them produced in fishy’n’cheap sweatshops in Asia. We’ve worked for several months to get all things...

The Weddar near the Pyramids feels great.
LSD. Clouds.
The stunning image below is of a rainbow cloud, captured above Mt Everest by Oleg Bartunov whilst on an expedition in the Himalayas, Nepal.
The amazing rainbow effect is created when tiny ice crystals in the water vapour of the clouds reflect the sunlight. The sight is rare and has only been reported a few times previously.
Cloud
CLOUD is a large-scale interactive installation by Caitlind r.c. Brown for Nuit Blanche Calgary. Created from steel, metal pull-strings, and 5,000+ light bulbs (both illuminated and burnt out) CLOUD asks the viewer to participate by experiencing the work first hand – standing beneath the structure and pulling lights on and off, creating the flickering aesthetic of an electrical cloud.

takingguard asked: how long do the reports stay live to the public. For example if some reports the weather now, is it there to still view in 4 hrs? 4 days? You dont explain any of this

Happy Birthday Weddar.
Weddar is 1 year old today. It feels like it was only a month ago… Thank you. I am truly grateful to you. I’m thankful for all of those who’ve helped making it, and to all of you who’ve been using it, making it useful while helping each other and spreading the word about Weddar.
Since then, more than 120.000 people around the world have downloaded the iOS and Android apps...

“Weather forecasters in South Africa have been warned they could face fines and even jail for issuing incorrect weather predictions.
First time offenders could face a four or five-year sentence and a £400,000 fine, while repeat offenders face a maximum of 10 years or an £800,000 fine.”

Weddar Reporters don’t predict. They report.

How to forecast the weather (without gadgets)
Hi all,
Since Weddar is not about forecasts (yet… cof… cof… ;), we thought it would be helpful to give you a manual on how to understand what kind of weather conditions are heading toward you, by just checking the sky. ;)
(graphic via: www.marisys.com)
So, how does it feel? ;)

You know, Mr. Lynch seems to be really into weather stuff, and indeed he used to do a daily weather report, like one below:
