A May weekend of cold weather turning hot in Switzerland, as recorded by SwissMetNet weather stations, published on the Swiss pilot Open Government Data portal, collected using a community-built API, and visualised using D3, SVG and Inkscape.

Thanks to Marcel Stoer for the open data SMN API which was used to collect the data using this simple curl script:

watch -n 600 'curl http://data.netcetera.com:80/smn/smn > smn_`date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M"`.json'
