Congratulations on the new thing! I've loved Weatherspark ever since y'all were doing very innovative presentation back in 2013 or so.
One suggestion; have you tried re-centering Southern hemisphere calendars so summer is still in the middle? The "red dot in the middle" is such a clear pattern, no reason you couldn't have it in Australia too.
We've talked about it, but so far no, it messes with the x-axis a little too much (averages, history, compare, everything needs to work & line up across both time & northern/southern hemisphere, and what graph has two x-axes anyway!? ;) and while neat it's a little marginal from a substantive utility perspective?
Double agree with this suggestion - as I've split my life between hemispheres, weatherspark has been enormously useful for explaining relative climates to new and old friends, but I always have to edit the comparison graphs myself to put summer in the middle before sharing so you can actually compare the differences.
Same here. Funny enough they seem to have done the adjustment for the similar cities feature (“far-away foreign places with temperatures most similar”) but when you click to compare them the charts are all unadjusted.

* adjust colours in temperature scale to personal taste. And/or adjust temperature range in each category (my freezing cold may be another person's chilly).
Absolutely. What happened to all the below-0 degrees of cold? -2°C is mushy, -10° is crispy, and then it gets very cold. It's important!
EDIT: now I see the last interval is just very large: -9°C to 0°C. Something around -5°C would work better, as this is roughly where the physical properties of the world change, because road salt stops working.
