Do you all know about the weather maps at this site? I don't always feel they have it quite right, but it's quite interesting. There is a European one too, so you can see if the south of France is a better place to be on a given day,rather than Finland!

There's none for the US.

Maybe sometime folks here will be more aware of SAD/provide more resources and support.

maybe there is something similar for the US? It might be worth getting in touch with the company, of course there may be legal reasons or somehting why it can't be done

Heh. Thought about getting in touch with weatherchannel.com.

I didn't get much sleep last night and am "hitting the wall" as far as my attention span/energy level today.

How sad. Will get around to it... I love that you found something like this for the UK. Makes me hopeful. :)

Heh, I realized what a simple task this was and just went ahead and did it because I was pretty embarrassed at my reply.

Just been looking at ths SAD weather map for Europe, with each week, the purple bit seems to get a bit closer to the UK. I'm not really sure whether it's accurate or not, but fun to watch anyway. I don't necessarily find it matches what is happening locally, but we tend to have a bit of a ' microclimate' here anyway.

Not sure whether it's accurate or not, but really interesting to look at, thanks PurpleIvy :)
