The Castlemilk Lighting Project utilises up-to-the-minute technology to display a night-time visual representation of the local weather outlook for the following day using internet RSS feeds based on meteorological data.
The left tower displays a general forecast with colours matching the traditional weather symbols, for example, dark blue denotes rain and yellow indicates sunshine.
The middle tower displays wind patterns with bands of colour moving across the building to show wind direction and light pulses to indicate speed.
The right tower displays temperature through colour and figures. A red background will signify a warm forecast and the numbers moving down the block represent the temperature forecast.
The towers can also feature special events displays to mark specific occasions.
So, before you go to bed at night, why not take a wee look out of your window and see what the weather forecast is for the next day. Glowing yellow from the tower on the left, along with slow pulses of green from the middle tower and a warm red temperature on the right tower will mean that you can look forward to a pleasant day.
However, should you see bolts of white light or heavy bands of falling blue with a frosty minus temperature, wrap up warm – there could be a storm on its way.
