WeatherCube cycles through a 6-day forecast by illuminating multiple acrylic panels, each representing a different weather type.

I use the OpenWeatherMap API to request the weather forecast, I simplify the data into a weather type, then break it down into separate weather elements, and finally light up the appropriate panels.
Each weather element is a different panel: one for the sun in yellow, one for the cloud in white, two or three types of rain drops in blue, and so on.
After a couple of seconds the icon changes to the next days weather.
