Where is the weather "perfect"? Jan Null, Golden Gate
Weather, has devised one way to find out.

Great polar orbiting satellite view of Ronne Iceberg which was
larger than the size of Delaware.
Mt. Washington Weather

Some say this place has the world's worst weather. Come find out!
Regardless, it still holds the record for the world's strongest
reported wind.
NASA's Lightning Mapper Project
http://thunder.nsstc.nasa.gov/
NASA's Global Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC) includes a Lightning
Team. As part of their research activities, the members of this
team have been investigating the causes and effects of lightning
as well as analyzing a wide variety of atmospheric measurements
related to thunderstorms (e.g., the relationship between the electrical
characteristics of storms and precipitation, convection, and severe
weather.
In their work, the GHCC Lightning Team has designed, constructed and deployed numerous types of ground based, airborne, and space based sensors used to detect lightning and characterize the electrical behavior of thunderstorms. The data collected by the GHCC's Lightning Team is routinely shared with scientists around the globe, resulting in numerous advancements in the field of Atmospheric Science. Some of it is also posted here for easy viewing.
For monthly and seasonal lightning data from the Optical Transient Detector (OTD), a space-based observation tool, check out http://thunder.nsstc.nasa.gov/data/OTDsummaries/
For a map showing data from the Optical Transient Detector (OTD), since launch, check out http://thunder.nsstc.nasa.gov/data/OTDsummaries/gifs/mission_world.gif
This map, spanning several years, provides some interesting perspectives concerning climatology.

Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Animation
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/~map/maproom/text/climate_pages/sst_olr/old_sst/sst_9798_anim.shtml
A two year animation shows the onset and demise of El Nino and
the start of La Nina. It takes a few minutes to load, but once
loaded, it can be replayed over and over again.
