Abstract
A-Team provides a Tempescope / Weather Station that presents a visual display of the weather conditions outside that is accurate and pleasing to the eye. The design makes several improvements to the OpenTempescope which was the brain child for the project. The Tempescope / Weather Station gives people in places like a hospital room or a cubicle at work a representation of what's happening outside that can improve their work environment. By taking data from a local paired weather station, the Tempescope / Weather Station is accurate to what is actually going on outside. Adding a LCD display to show all the data that can't be simulated complements the visual display of weather conditions that can be simulated. The addition of more accurate weather data, moon phases, rain intensity, lightning, and more realistic clouds are a few of the added and/or improved aspects to this version of the original OpenTempescope.
