The weather
Try this page, it shows radar rain for the UK http://www.meteox.com/gmap.aspx?zoom=5&lat=52.908902047770255&lon=-1.845703125   This is a Google earth image with the radar rain imaged added, It runs better than google earth program, I think because the image is smaller and runs within a browser without the need to install a program
