Whilst modern representations of weather data are communicated in statistics or icons, the Weather Project website represents weather information in dynamic light. This abstract representation can be watched either on the website at home, or in a public space where it is projected by a video projector. The qualities of light change according to the current weather conditions, producing an ambient light environment.

The weather forms an important part of social interaction, from looking at global forecasts and contemplating living in a warmer climate, to locating friends around the world and identifying with them through their meteorological environment. "Weather Project" plays with these social and cultural functions, using weather information as both a means of staying in contact with your friends and a way to communicate with them.

Weatherproject.org is a hub, where you can watch the weather from specific locations around the world. If you would like to connect a place of your chosing to the weatherproject, please send an email from the website.
