Every minute, a server script is pulling the weather data and computing the temperature map layer using kriging interpolation. We are then computing the isobands (the bands of similar temperature) using the marching squares algorithm. These temperature bands, along with a plethora of other useful data is then stored in a MongoDB document database for quicker access when loading the page.
