The exploration page is really easy to use. Having more reliable weather predictions is a genuinely useful product.

I disagree.. Feels very sloppy to me:

- Time is UTC rather than local by default.

- Units are imperial rather than metric (i.e. not basing it on users locale)

- The concept of init time is not initially clear at all, so it's confusing when you click the calendar icon to see the weather forecast for a future date only to see it isn't an option, you have to use the slider.

- When changing the sidebar to the "detailed" view, most of the hovering element is cut off by the container so you can't actually read it.

And it took longer to write this comment than it did to find these issues. It's fine since it's clearly marked as experimental, but I disagree that it's "really easy to use" :p
