Fraid not. The one I use is done by the govt meteorological operation in 
this country.

I don't know what the story is with the Med.

Dunno, haven't even looked. It does have a few pictures that are
just background into, nothing to do with the current forecast etc.

I run most pages at 200% just because I show them on 24" screens and
that gives the most readable text size, particularly with pages like 
wikipedia
that wrap properly so that you don't need to scroll horizontally at all.

I run that particular one at 160% so the pic just fits vertically on my 
screens.

It is handy for the rainfall predictions for the next 7 days and is handy
when a particular weather event is going thru and you want to see how
unusual it is historically. That's the main page that is the main source for
those that don't show the radar and cloud photos on separate tabs etc.

> I like the presentation of "Griffith 7-day Weather Forecast"

Sure, but it doesn't show the prediction of the rain in the 5% of < 1mm
and 90% of 20-40 mm format. That's much more useful than the first one
when looking at what is predicted to happen over the next week. The
first one is better for the daily temps, but not for the rainfall 
prediction.

That's why I have both on separate tabs.

All the other commonly used browsers do have some zoom capability.
Yes it may be the only one that specifys it in the script the same way.

Yeah, that's where I got the script from, but there is no zoom specifiable. 
It just opens
the tabs with the last used zoom factor, like a manual new tab or window 
does.
