Goal: Enable creative weather display.

User Story:

The user should be able to view the current weather at a chosen location through a movable weather visualization box. This box will display a 3D render/animation of the current weather conditions at the selected point. It should be interactive and placeable in the air, similar to the interaction with the globe.

Implementation Details:
