Nice work Buzz, good find! Hope Samuii is still good to you....
been going off the last 3 days matey, and more forecast to come ... fingers crossed !
How do you tell what the colours mean? Is there a range somewhere to know what KNOTS to expect?

Any way you can zoom in? or type in your location?
Zoom in/out - use your scroll thingo on your mouse (don't think it can be done on a lappy)
just click with your mouse on yr location and a green circle comes up ... then it will show wind direction in degrees and change from km/h to kn (knots)
also clicking on 'earth' gives you more options (Height - set at 1000 is s'posed to be 100mtrs up ... Control - by clicking the arrow furthest right gives you next days forecast)
hey if you want to see strong wind have a look at the 250 Hpa wind level- shows the jet stream wind travelling around the world - simply awesome!! I know we don't kite in the jet stream but I wonder how it affects what we get wind and weather wise here on ground - yeah thinking too much but some of the northern hemisphere jet stream is currently ticking alone at 98 knots!! - drag out the 1/2 m kite!!!
apparently a lot of the forecasting done is based on what the jet stream is doing.
