Weather: where do I stick it?

UPSU homepage weather boxWhen I go to the UPSU homepage, I see things a little differently to most people because I have a couple of bits of content loaded in a "hidden" box - great while I'm working on new toys for the site.

One of these toys is the Portsmouth Weather feed, which uses a slightly modified version of the Mambweather module for Mambo (first spotted on Fred Bradley's GapStudentsOnline.com).

I've designed it to fit into a tiny bit of screen real estate, as you can see from the pic on the right, but I still don't know where I'm going to squeeze it into our already packed homepage. For now I might just tuck it under the "directory" links until I create a BBC News headlines box under the current UPSU news boxes.

Any better ideas? The winner gets precisely nothing but a warm fuzzy feeling :o)

(And, in answer to those of you at the back of the class: no, I won't be sticking it there. Eww...)
