None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in addresses.json (capture: only if its terms allow: otherwise the link). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.
What it shows, and how
A place page that is one horizontal strip: day tabs across the top, under them an hour-by-hour row (symbol, temperature, chance of precipitation, wind arrow with speed; tap an hour for gust, humidity, pressure, visibility); warnings as a labelled bar above the strip; a presenter video forecast and a one-sentence text summary for the day. Lisbon was read.
Forms: timeline-hourly, presenter-video, warnings, maps.
Seen in a browser (23:48 UTC, 2026-11-10): Lisbon: a card "Tonight" with one sentence ("Thundery showers and a gentle breeze"), day tabs for eight days with high and low, an hour row (symbol, temperature, chance of precipitation, a wind circle with speed), "Last updated today at 23:02", then a rain map with a play button and a week-long time bar. No warning of any kind was shown for Lisbon on the eve of IPMA's red warnings: outside the UK the page carries no authority's warnings.
What it does best
The hour strip with the sentence above it: "what kind of day" in words, then every hour in one scrollable line, on a phone. The presenter video is the same forecast told by a person.
What we take from it
The hero: one sentence, then the hour strip; a named voice ("the presenter") is a text block with a time and a role, not a video.
Data and models it says it uses
The Lisbon page prints "BBC Weather in association with MeteoGroup": a partner is named, no model (pointed out by incident.meteorology@ and checked in our own copy of the page).
Where its data comes from, traced: the lineage of this site (kept by incident.meteorology@).
