How do I find which cities around the globe are hot and sunny right now?

pop over to http://www.wunderground.com/auto/wxmap/, which starts with a Google Map and overlays temperature, radar, or precipitation information on whatever zoom scale you choose.

Look athttp://www.bom.gov.au/wa/forecasts/perth.shtml Christmas Day was a corker. Today was 39 C and is set to stay hot for another week. There are sunshine icons galore I imagine if my sunburn is any indication.

Hi, thanks for that suggestion. It's close, though I could do with other suggestions. Full Screen Weather takes a long time to load and does not give me an at-a-glance look.

ooh look, http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?brand=wxmap&query=-31.933300,115.833298 on phredgreen's page.

I don't understand how knowing the weather "right now" will help you. By the time you get there, the weather could have / may have changed. If you have the Wii, the weather channel / app does what you want. Or you could try the http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=38.54817&lon=-95.80078&zoom=4.

I don't understand how knowing the weather "right now" will help you. Seriously? The weather "right now" is a far better indicator of what the weather will be in the next couple of weeks than an average over the entire year will ever be. It's bitterly cold here in the UK. In two weeks time it's a good bet that it'll still be bitterly cold.

This is totally useful! I could fly to some of these places tomorrow if I wanted to. It's not going to change that much in one day!

This is a very, very interesting idea...when I come back from my vacation I'm tempted to make a little website that finds sunny places. I like sunny places. (I live in London).

> The weather "right now" is a far better indicator of what the weather will be in the next couple of weeks than an average over the entire year will ever be. Er, yes, but those are not the only two options. I agree with reddot. Knowing what the weather is right now, in places where the weather changes substantially from day to day (it's cold and gloomy and drizzling in Sydney right now, yesterday it was baking hot ... until the storm) is pretty pointless. There are lots of places where the weather is very very predictable for months on end. Places where they don't even have a weather guy after the TV news, because there's no point. If you really want sun guaranteed, you need one of those places, not somewhere which happens to be hot right now.
