Drawn live, not a video
Five scenes are drawn as you watch: rain on a pane of glass, an open sky, bands of the hour's color, a contour map and drifting color. Nothing loops, and there is nothing to download.

Your city's real weather
Clouds, rain, snow and thunderstorms follow the forecast where you live. Only your city's rough location, about 1 km, is used to fetch it.
Follows your day
The colors follow your clock: cold and blue before dawn, warm at dusk, dim at night.
Your photo never leaves your browser.
Your photo, with rain on the glass
Pick a photo of your street, your view or your favorite place. Raindrops run down the glass, and the light turns warm at dusk and blue at night.
