I use the following:

http://www.tmdg.co.uk/weather/ Up to date Sigmet and METAR. Use ICAO
code and works only for larger airports with automated weather stations

http://www.gofir.com/ Probably the most comprehensive pre-flight self
briefing sites that I've come across.

For the folks who use the WAP (mobile internet) feature on their mobile
phones:

http://wap.cupitt.com Latest METAR and TAF both in coded and decoded format

http://sunplan.com/avwx.wml#main UK only airfield weather updates

The WAP sites are pretty good if you are operating from a small
strip.The only problem is that airfields generally don't get the best
reception
Or if you are wondering what the weather is doing at the field from the
comfort of your armchair. No more waiting for someone in the FBO to pick
up. Just type in your nearest Class C airport ICAO (upwind if possible)
should do the trick.

What sites and why -- would prefer quick graphics on one page Java based.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
